YOU did it! Your letters and your online petitions did it! Meriam Ibrahim has been released!
Amnesty International report:
"Today’s release of Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, a Christian Sudanese woman
sentenced to death by hanging for ‘apostasy’ and to flogging for
‘adultery,’ is a step towards undoing the horrific injustice visited on
her, said Amnesty International today.
Meriam was
released from Omdurman Woman’s Prison today after an appeal court found
her not guilty of both charges. She is now with her husband and her two
children."

Sadly,
news
has broken that Meriam Ibrahim -- only a day after being released from
prison -- is being held at Khartoum airport, Sudan along with her
husband and two children. They were detained as they were about to leave
the country. We hope to have more information soon.
