Sudan: Death penalty for being married to a Christian

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, a Christian Sudanese woman, was convicted on charges of 'adultery' and 'apostasy' and is at risk of being sentenced to flogging and death. She is currently in the eighth month of pregnancy and is held in detention with her 20-month-old son. She was sentenced to death on May 11, 2014 after she refused to abandon her religion. Amnesty International considers Meriam as a prisoner of conscience. Her sentence is unjust as she was punished for mere practising of her right to freedom of religion.
