A woman in Sudan have been sentenced to death for abandoning her faith, Islamic. Meriam Ibrahim, a wife to a US citizen called Daniel Wani. Ms Ibrahim, a 27 year old lady was brought up as a Christain, but a judge said that because her father is a Muslim she must be considered as a Muslim as well, she refused to renounce her faith and was sentenced to death by hanging becasue of apostasy, which is to abandon one's faith. This Wednesday she gave birth to her daughter the second child from her marriage since 2011. The sudanian court earlier revoked her marriage as this was not considered to be valid, therefore she was sentenced to both death and 100 lashing for adultery. In an interview with the British Prime Minister, he said that the act was barbaric and way out of step with today's world. Abdullahi Alzareg, a secretary at a foregn ministry, said that Sudan Guaranteed religious freedom and are committed to protecting woman.
I think that the Prime Minister of Britain made a good point about that this is out of our way of this modern world, and how they are acting is unbelievable and it should not be seen in today's world. Also i am glad that Ms. Ibrhim is supported by the world and she is safely released becasue of humanitarian grounds. Also she stand tall to the ones who told her to change her faith, and refuse to change even though she is facing death. All in all she is a brave woman and i think that she is a woman that we should all look up to.
