Sudan utfärdar dödsdom och 100 piskrapp för gravid kristen mor - Death sentence and whipping for pregnant Christian mother

Urgent (Pray and act). “I am a Christian, and I have never been a Muslim,” Meriam Yahya Ibrahim.

Uppdatering (se nedan).

Phil. 2:9-11 "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

"A judge in Sudan confirmed the death sentence for “apostasy” (leaving Islam) for a pregnant Christian woman after she refused to recant, sources said.

After her conviction on April 30, Judge Abaas Al Khalifa had given Meriam Yahia Ibrahim 15 days to recant or be executed, with the ultimatum repeated at her hearing on Sunday (May 11). He also confirmed the sentence of 100 lashes for having sex with her husband, considered illicit in Islam because he is a Christian."

Israelnyheter/The Jerusalem Post: Kristen mor dömd till döden i Sudan:

"Meriam Yahya Ibrahim dömdes igår till döden genom hängning samt till 100 piskrapp.

Med domen mot Meriam Yahya Ibrahim placerar sig Sudan som en av de mest ondskefulla staterna i världen.

Meriam är gift med en kristen man från Syd Sudan, 27 år gammal, gravid och mor till en snart två årig son.

Hennes brott är att hon är kristen och gift med en kristen man, det är tillräckligt för att bli dömd till döden när man bor i den muslimska staten Sudan.

Meriam har vägrat avsäga sig sin kristna tro. "
