Been following this story for sometime and all I can say is that Sudan's Islamic Court is a bunch of sick bastards. They feel so threatened by a pregnant (was), married woman, with a young child they have to keep all of them locked up. Then after Mommy gives birth and weans her baby, 100 lashes and then they hang her?! Hey just a thought Sudan Islamic Kangaroo Court...maybe instead of focusing on abusing a Christian Women - because what this is is abuse...maybe you should try working on actual "real" issues like the fighting in South Sudan?
Woman Facing Death Sentence in Sudan Gives Birth
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag,
the Sudanese woman facing a death sentence for marrying a Christian,
has given birth, Amnesty International confirmed to ABC News.
The woman was sentenced to death for apostasy for marrying a Christian and converting to his religion.
Sudan's Islamic court also did not recognize the legitimacy of her
marriage, so it also convicted her of adultery and sentenced her to 100
lashes before she is to be hanged.
Her husband, Daniel Wani, is an American citizen who was working in New
Hampshire and rushed back to Sudan in an attempt to save his wife's
life.
She is reportedly slated to remain in jail for two years to nurse the child before she is to be flogged and hanged.
The court's sentence has prompted statements of concern from Western governments and human rights groups.
Her lawyers continue to appeal and petition for clemency.
