Meriam Ibrahim Release: Woman Jailed for Apostasy Reunited With Husband

(The Independent)—A Sudanese woman who was sentenced to death for converting from Islam to Christianity has been reunited with her family after her release from prison.
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, her American husband Daniel Wani and their two young children have been taken to a safe house because of the high-profile nature of the case, but said they are looking forward to starting a new life in the US soon.
Amnesty International, which has campaigned on Ms Ibrahim’s behalf since she was put on death row while eight months pregnant on charges of “apostasy”, said her release from Omdurman Woman’s Prison yesterday was “a small step to redressing the injustice done to Meriam.”
