Don't execute 8 months pregnant Mariam Yehya Ibrahim for being Christian

Created by E.H. on May 16, 2014

Mariam Yehya Ibrahim, a Sudanese mother, doctor and Christian, has been sentenced to flogging and death unless she recants her Christian faith. She is 8 months pregnant and has a two-year-old son. Please, join the international community in asking Sudan not to execute her for being a Christian.

Ibrahim is charged with adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan is considered void under Shari’a law, for which the penalty is flogging. She’s also charged with apostasy, or abandonment of religion, for which the penalty is death.

The fact that a woman could be sentenced to death for her religious choice is abhorrent.

We ask the POTUS call upon the Sudanese Government to stop this travesty of human rights!
