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. Next pic is Meriam's husband, Daniel Wani,
with the new baby.
Despite the fact that she 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.
