This
is the first picture of Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim, who was
sentenced to death for apostasy, from inside the prison where she's
being held. In this pic, Meriam carries her new born baby girl Maya, who
was born this week in prison. Her legs were reportedly chained as she
gave birth in prison. the 27 year old has been in prison for eight
months now and is awaiting execution for doing nothing but marrying a
Christian man. Right is Meriam's husband, Daniel Wani, with the new
baby.
Despite just given birth, it's being reported that Meriam
will be given the 100 lashes that are part of her sentence in 2weeks'
time unless she wins her appeal. Meriam has refused to renounce
Christianity and Sudanese authorities are bent on the barbaric
punishment despite mounting international outrage.
