Wife set to hang for marrying Christian U.S. citizen gives birth to baby girl in squalid jail

Remember this story?  Meriam Ibrahim gave birth five days early after months shackled to floor. She has spent the past four months shackled to the floor in a disease-ridden jail.
The baby was born in the hospital wing at Omdurman Federal Women’s Prison in North Khartoum and is said to be healthy.

Meriam, 27, was sentenced to death by hanging earlier this month after being found guilty of converting from Islam to Christianity and marrying a Christian man, U.S. citizen Daniel Wani, who lives in Manchester, New Hampshire.

She will receive 100 lashes before she is executed - sometime in the next two years.

Before the birth, Meriam made the defiant claim that she would rather die than give up her faith.

I think it is time we all begin to raise awareness anyway/how we can on this situation. We want the relevant organisations, countries, lawyers, campaigners, anyone who can help free this woman and her kids to see this and rise up and help. Let us not keep quiet and let this woman die.
