Sudanese Apostasy Woman, Meriam Ibrahim 'Re-Arrested' With Family At Airport

Mariam Yahya Ibrahim was sentenced to death last month for renouncing Islam and found not guilty on two charges of apostasy and adultery, the latter of which was to see her flogged 100 times, was initially released on Monday after what the government said was "unprecedented" international pressure, has been re-arrested at Khartoum airport, a security source has claimed.

The security official said he did know the reason for the re-arrest. One of Ms Ibrahim's lawyers said she was being held at a security building outside the airport along with her Christian American husband Daniel Wani and their two young children.
Her husband said on Monday the family intended to travel to the US upon her release. About 40 security agents detained Ms Ibrahim today as they tried to board a plane, a source told the BBC.
