Christian Held in Sudan is Free: Let's Bring Meriam Ibrahim Home to US Now

Photo Credit: APMeriam Ibrahim — the Sudanese Christian sentenced to die for her faith — is free, but she’s not out of danger.

Monday, her attorney confirmed that she’s been released from Sudanese prison, where’d she’d been sentenced to death for the “crime” of apostasy – of allegedly converting from Islam to Christianity.

Sudan also sentenced her to received 100 lashes, a brutal flogging, because it deemed her marriage to an American invalid – denying her even the most basic autonomy over her actions. (According to reports, the Sudanese government will no longer subject her to the floggings.)

It’s time to bring Meriam and her family home, to the United States, where they can worship without fear and she can raise her children in safety.

Even worse, she was imprisoned with her two young children, American children. Meriam is married to an American, and her children are Americans. They shared her cell and thus shared the dreadful conditions suffered by “apostates” in Sudan.
