"Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese Christian woman who was recently released from prison after facing the death penalty, is still stuck in Sudan. Ibrahim and her family are said to be safe at a “makeshift home” in at U.S. embassy in Sudan.
"At eight months pregnant, Ibrahim had been sentenced to death for not renouncing her Christian faith and she was imprisoned and eventually forced to give birth in chains while shackled in the Omdurman Federal Women’s Prison in North Khartoum, Sudan.
"Ibrahim was freed from prison after an appeals court found a lower court’s death penalty sentence to be unfounded. Ibrahim and her husband, who has both Sudanese and U.S. citizenship, traveled to the airport in Khartoum to leave the country for the U.S. They were arrested at the airport and accused of using forged travel documents, a claim Ibrahim denies.

"After Sudan faced unprecedented international pressure on her case, Meriam's death sentence for apostasy was cancelled by a court in Khartoum, and all charges against her were dropped.
"But when she and her family attempted to leave Sudan on Tuesday, June 24, 2014, they were arrested again, detained, and eventually released. Currently taking temporary shelter in the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, Meriam and her family are still waiting and hoping to be able to come to the United States.
"Facing death threats from her own family, Meriam's life is at risk the longer she stays in Sudan. It is crucial that she be granted safe and swift passage to the United States. You can take action for this courageous Christian woman, and continue to be a voice on her behalf..."

From The ACLJ Team:
Meriam Ibrahim and her American husband and children have reportedly taken refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Sudan.
Meriam, who was sentenced to flogging and death for her Christian faith, is finally out of Sudanese custody after Sudan's secret police snatched them from the arms of American diplomats, an episode that humiliated the Obama State Department and placed her and her American family in grave danger.
The State Department must get its act together. The State Department must now escort Meriam home to America. Sign our petition and read our update:
