Sudan: Meriam Ibrahim has been released: NEWS FLASH

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.
