Sudanese woman sentenced to hang for leaving Islam

A heavily pregnant Christian woman in Sudan has been sentenced to hang for not
being raised as a Muslim.


Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted on charges of apostasy, or the
abandonment of religion, by a court in Khartoum.


Following her conviction on Sunday, she was given three days to recant her
faith or face a possible death sentence.


"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to
Islam. I sentence you to be hanged," Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa
told the woman, addressing her by her father's Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi
Mohammed Abdullah.


Ibrahim also faces a sentence of flogging for adultery on the grounds that her
marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan is considered void under
Shari’a law. She will be given 100 lashes.
