A Sudanese court has upturned the death-by-hanging sentence passed on Meriam Ibrahim, 27, for marrying a Christian against the wish of his Islam-biased family.
Meriam, who was sentenced to death for marrying a Christian, was also sentenced to receiving 100 lashes of the cane, while her marriage was pronounced dissolved.
The conviction in May sparked global outrage, and SUNA News Agency — Sudan’s official state news agency — confirmed on Monday that the ordered 27-year-old will be freed after her case sparked outrage around the world.
