The Sudanese woman who was kept in prison and sentenced to death for converting to Christianity has been rearrested.
27-year-old Meriam Ibrahim was forced to give birth in a Sudanese jail after she was arrested for apostasy.
She was sentenced to death after she refused to renounce Christianity but was released yesterday.
Her legal team has however said that Meriam was again apprehended along with her husband, Daniel Wani at an airport in Khartoum.
CNN reports:
Meriam Ibrahim, 27, and her husband, Daniel Wani, were arrested Tuesday at an airport in Sudan’s capital as they were trying to leave the African country, Ibrahim’s legal team said.
Details about why the couple were arrested weren’t immediately available.
Ibrahim, 27, was convicted in May by a Sudanese court on charges of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, and adultery — charges that led to international controversy. Ibrahim was eight months pregnant when she was sentenced to suffer 100 lashes and then be hanged.
But an appeals court in Sudan this month ruled that a lower court’s judgment against her was faulty, and she was released, according to her lawyer.
