On Friday, June 6, Christians of all kinds and humanitarians from other minority groups met outside the Sudanese Embassy in London and demanded freedom and justice for Meriam Ibrahim.
Meriam is the Christian Sudanese doctor who was sentenced to death and to 100 lashes for alleged apostasy, that is converting from Islam to Christianity, and for adultery, that is marrying a man who is not a Muslim. This is despite Meriam being brought up by her mother as a Christian.
Refusal to renounce faith
Apparently Mrs Ibrahim counts as Muslim according to Sudanese law because her father was Muslim. Therefore law courts have ruled that her marriage is illegal.
