Meriam Ibrahim ,the Sudanese woman
who was sentenced to death for being a
Christian was has been released from
her latest detention but has been
charged with new crimes..
Contrary to reports that she has been
freed and allowed to go,Meriam has
been accused of falsifying travel
documents which she tried to leave
Sudan with.. The authorities are saying
she was supposed to use the Muslim
name she had when she was born, not
the Christian name she adopted.The
new allegations are a huge setback to
Meriam's hopes of leaving Sudan and a
further sign that the Sudanese
government is playing twisted games
over her release.
She is on bail which was put up by a
friend and as part of the
conditions,cannot leave Sudan until this
matter is resolved .Meriam and
husband Daniel were taken into custody
by the feared National Intelligence and
Security Services(NISS),notorious for
taking prisoners to secret 'ghost houses'
where they are tortured.
Daniel’s brother Gabriel, a naturalized
American citizen who lives in
Manchester said:
‘This is very concerning. It’s bad
news. They should be let go as soon
as possible. My brother wanted to
get out of Sudan as fast as he could,
and now this has happened’.
