About a month ago we brought you the unfortunate story of 27 year old Meriam Yehya Ibrahim and her death sentencing by Sudanese courts for marrying outside of her religion. After her story went public internationally, and thanks to various protests, Sudanese courts have released the young mother from Jail.

–“Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, reunited with her husband after getting out of custody, said her lawyer, Mohaned Mustafa El-Nour. An appeals court found that an initial judgment against her was faulty, he said.
He declined to elaborate.
Ibrahim was convicted of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, and sentenced to die by hanging in May while she was eight months pregnant. In addition to the death sentence, the court convicted her of adultery and sentenced her to 100 lashes.
Ibrahim gave birth to a girl in a prison in the capital of Sudan last month, two weeks after she was sentenced to 100 lashes and to die by hanging.
Her husband, Daniel Wani, uses a wheelchair and “totally depends on her for all details of his life,” her lawyer said.
She was in the women’s prison with her 20-month-old son, but Sudanese officials said the toddler was free to leave at any time, according to her lawyer.
Her sentence had drawn international condemnation from rights groups and foreign embassies in Khartoum, including those of the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.”–
