Sudanese police have released a Christian woman who was sentenced to death for converting from Islam for a second time on condition that she stays in the country, her lawyer has told Reuters.
Freed Meriam Ibrahim re-arrested at airport in Sudan
Sudanese authorities have re-arrested Meriam Ibrahim just one day after she was freed from death row. She is being detained along with her husband and two children after the family tried to board a plane in Khartoum.
Meriam was sentenced to death last month after converting to Christianity from Islam and gave birth to a baby girl in prison.
Sudanese security forces gave no indication why she was re-arrested.
