Sudan: Woman condemned to death released after international pressure | Amnesty International
"Today’s ruling is a small step to redressing
the injustice done to Meriam. However, she should never have been
prosecuted. Meriam was sentenced to death when eight months pregnant for
something which should not be a crime," said Sarah Jackson, Deputy
Africa Director at Amnesty International
Meriam Ibrahim was released from Omdurman Woman’s Prison today after
an appeal court found her not guilty of the charges of 'apostasy' and
'adultery'.
