Meriam Ibrahim: Sudanese death sentence woman 'to be freed'

by Guest Sat May 31, 2014 7:18 pm

Meriam Yahya Ibrahim, who was sentenced to death in Sudan after she married a Christian man, is to be freed, a Sudanese foreign ministry official has said. The decision comes after the Sudanese government faced mounting pressure from the international community over her “barbaric” treatment.

Abdullahi Alzareg, an under-secretary at the foreign ministry, said the county was committed to protecting the woman and guaranteed religious freedom.

While I don't believe a word out of Abdullahi Alzareg's mouth on this, I am glad she's to be freed and I hope nobody does anything to her after she leaves prison. Of course, she deserves a hefty amount of compensation, but I don't see that happening ...

He clearly bowed to world pressure. Hell of a lot of countries were pretty mad about this.

And that's why I say that the best she can hope for is to actually be let out of the prison. I don't think her government will actually do any more to ensure her safety or compensate her for the suffering they put her through.

The best thing they can do is get the first flight back to America and never step foot in Sudan again

Back to America? I thought they were both Sudanese.

That said, I would imagine she could get asylum here without anybody cwying about it Smile

It's probably happened before, but her case is pretty unique and probably doesn't occur that often. That said, I hope every future case like this becomes world news so that international pressure can be used.

The Sudanese constitution over ruled the judges that imposed this decision in the first place then.

Excellent news.

I don't know if she is but i just thought as her husband is an American citizen it would surely be a safer place for them all ?
