Pregnant Sudan Woman Faces Death For Stopping To Be a Muslim

"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death," the judge told the woman.
Western embassies and rights groups had urged Sudan to respect the right of the pregnant woman to choose her religion.

Local media report the sentence would not be carried out for two years after she has given birth.



“I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy”Meriam Yehya Ibrahim. IshagSudan has a majority Muslim population, which is governed by Islamic law.The judge also sentenced her to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a Christian man was not valid under Islamic law.Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic cleric spoke with her in a caged dock for about 30 minutes, AFP reports.Then she calmly told the judge: "I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy."Amnesty International said the woman, Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag, was raised as an Orthodox Christian, her mother's religion, because her father, a Muslim, was reportedly absent during her childhood.In court, the judge addressed her by her Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah.She was convicted of adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan was void under Islamic law, as practised in Sudan, Amnesty said.She was arrested and charged with adultery in August 2013 and the court added the charge of apostasy in February 2014 when she said she was a Christian and not a Muslim, the group said.Amnesty said she should be released immediately.She is said to be eight months' pregnant.

Is it by force? Why are their ways forced on people? If I say I HATE this religion,it will be an understatement,I feel more unprintable things than hate 4 it. Islam is a CULT & nothing else. I'm proud of that woman. I pray she stick 2 her belief & not be bullied in2 denying Christ. My bible says we shd fear God who can destroy our body & soul & not man who can only destroy our body. I hope this practice is not the reason hausa moslems are forcing themselves 2 power in nigeria, if it is, then God will destroy them b4 they even begin.
