Pregnant Sudanese Woman Will Give Birth Before Facing Death Sentence

How awful! This is a CRY FOR HELP from the International World

8-months-pregnant Meriam Yahya Ibrahim will be allowed to give birth to her second child before whipped 100 lashes and then hanged to death as punishment for diverting from Islamism to Christianity and marrying a Christian. Meanwhile, she presently languishes in a Sudanese prison cell with her first son.

We earlier reported that27 year old Meriam was charged with both adultery and apostasy on May 15 when she refused to renounce her Christianity in a Sudan courtroom. Even though she is 8-months-pregnant, the judge sentenced her to a horrifying whipping punishment, followed by death. While Meriam awaits her heartbreaking fate, she is shackled at the ankles inside a tiny prison cell in Sudan where she cares for her first child, a 20-month-old baby boy.

When Meriam's sentence first made headlines, it sparked international outrage but it’s still unclear if the international body can help save this Sudanese woman.

Meriam, who is 8-months-pregnant with her second child, faces 100 lashes and death by hanging solely because she was raised a Christian in a Muslim country. Part of her punishment is also because she married and bore a Christian man’s children.
