For her new found faith in Christ,a pregnant 27 year old Sudanese woman, Mariam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag has been sentenced to death by hanging by a Sudanese court for "apostasy" after marrying a Christian man.The story as reported by AFP last thursday, narrated how Mariam, whose father is a Muslim but raised by an orthodox Christian mother, was earlier sentenced to death by hanging on Sunday May 11th but was given some time to recant her faith in Christ, an offer she declined to.
"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death." Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa told the woman in court today."
Meanwhile, a new dimension has been added to the report today as her little son was sent to join her in her prison cell by the Sudan authorities, rejecting her christian husband from taking care of the son.
As it is, a pregnant Mariam, bleeding in her cell has to care for her unborn baby, the little boy and herself.
However, reports said UN is intervening and trying to save an 8 month pregnant woman from the death penalty in Sudan who married a Christian man.
... I believe our God will deliver her.What do you think?
