Yay! Sudan to lift "death sentence" on mother of 2 who committed apostasy
God bless Social media and all those who intervened in the case of this couple.
The 27 year old mother of 2 who was sentenced to death for converting from islam to christianity will be released in a few days.
A senior Khartoum official told the BBC this today, following worldwide protests about her treatment.. According to him, Sudan guaranteed religious freedom and was committed to protecting the woman.
Ms Ibrahim, 27, was brought up as an Orthodox Christian, but a Sudanese judge ruled earlier this month that she should be regarded as Muslim because that had been her father's faith. She refused to renounce her Christianity and was sentenced to death by hanging for apostasy.
On Wednesday, she gave birth to a daughter in her prison cell - the second child from her marriage in 2011 to Daniel Wani, a US citizen. The court said Ms Ibrahim would only be allowed to nurse her baby for two years before the sentence was carried out. They had also earlier annulled her Christian marriage and sentenced her to 100 lashes for adultery because the union was not considered valid under Islamic law.
