Why "We will not believe that Mariam is being freed until she walks out of the prison." - Her Lawyer!


Contrary to the promise or should I call it rumour allegedly made by the Sudanese Government saying it will free Mariam Ibrahim, the Sudanese woman sentenced to death by hanging for denouncing her Islamic religion, her lawyer had confirmed its a lie!


A Sudanese Under-secretary at the foreign ministry Abdullahi Alzareg said...
Sudan guaranteed religious freedom and was committed to protecting the woman. He said Meriam would be free from prison in a matter of days.

Meanwhile her lawyer, Elshareef Ali Mohammed has expressed reservations over the government's new position, saying they are just trying to divert international attention from the case and that he doubts she would be freed soon

"It's a statement to silence the international media. This is what the government does. We will not believe that she is being freed until she walks out of the prison. If they were to release her, the announcement would come from the appeal court and not from the ministry of foreign affairs. But at least it shows our campaign to free Meriam is rattling them. We must keep up the pressure." he said

Meriam gave birth to her second baby in prison on Tuesday May 27th.

Her lawyer is right. Why would the govt be the one telling she will be set free in few days. Were they the one who sentenced her. Let the appellate court speak for themselves

Let's keep praying brethen. Let's keep praying for her safety so that she can come out alive and unhurt. Its prayer that brought her thus far, its the same God that will see her through and those devils will be put to shame in Jesus name.
