SIGN THE PETITION! Save Meriam Ibrahim, Don't Hang Her to Death for Her Faith
Dear LifeNews Readers,
Meriam Ibrahim is
8-months pregnant and is a Christian woman sentenced to hang to death in
Sudan for rejecting Islam. She is being shackled by Sudanese officials
despite the fact she is eight-months pregnant and there are grave
concerns for her health and the health of her unborn baby.
Meriam
will be tortured - beaten with 100 lashes for marrying an American
Christian. Then she will be hung for being a Christian. Meanwhile, her
son, a 20-month-old boy and American citizen, is also jailed with her
and is sick from the prison conditions.
Ibrahims husband, U.S.
citizen Daniel Wani, said lawyers representing her told Amnesty
International that religious clerics in court had asked her if she would
recant her faith, but she told them: I am a Christian.
The death
sentence issued to a pregnant woman who refused to renounce Christianity
for Islam in Sudan is an egregious violation of basic human rights,
Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-04), Chairman of the House congressional
panel that oversees U.S. policy in Africa, said previously.
This is an affront to
religious freedom everywhere, Smith said. The refusal of the
government of Sudan to allow religious freedom was one of the reasons
for Sudans long civil war. The U.S. and the rest of the international
community must demand Sudan reverse this sentence immediately.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY: Please sign the LifeNews petition to support Meriam Ibrahim
and raise awareness about her and her unborn child. Join with us to
tell the world that this is an affront to religious freedom, the right
