A Sudanese woman facing death threats after her apostasy death sentence was overturned has been given refuge at the US embassy in Khartoum, the woman’s husband said. Daniel Wani said yesterday that Mariam Ibrahim and his two children were doing well at the heavily guarded facility on the outskirts of the Sudanese capital.
Ibrahim had spent several weeks on death row after being found guilty of abandoning Islam and marrying Wani, a Christian.
She was later released, but then charged with forgery while leaving the country on a South Sudan travel document. She sought US protection after being released on bail on Thursday.
“Really, it’s good,” Wani told the AFP news agency yesterday, adding that embassy staff had been “very helpful and very nice.” — AFP
