Sudan Woman Sentenced to Death for Christianity Gives Birth in Prison

from religion.blogs.cnn.com: A Sudanese woman sentenced to die for refusing to renounce her Christianity has given birth to a girl in prison, her lawyers said Tuesday. Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, delivered her baby Monday at a women’s prison in Khartoum, but her husband was not allowed to be present for the birth, sources told CNN. They asked not to be named for safety reasons. Ibrahim was convicted of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, about two weeks ago while she was eight months pregnant.
