Time is running out and things are getting progressively worse for this unjustly sentenced Sudanese woman…

Toddler Forced To Live In Jail With Pregnant Mother Awaiting Death Penalty

The heart-breaking story of the 27-year-old pregnant Sudanese woman who has been sentenced to death by hanging for refusing to denounce her Christian beliefs continues to get even more sad by the week.

Meriam Yahya Ibrahaim, 27, is living in a Sudanese prison where she is expected to give birth to her second child on or before June 1. Until then, her 20-month-old son, Martin Wani, must live inside the prison cell with her and the new baby when it arrives. In the meantime, Meriam’s husband, Daniel Wani, is desperately fighting for their freedom.

We thought that Meriam’s story could not get any worse, but it has.

It turns out that while a very pregnant Meriam awaits her death sentence in prison, her precious little boy has been forced to live inside her prison cell with her. Meriam will also have to care for her unborn baby in that cell once it is born.

The UN is intervening and trying to save an 8 month pregnant woman from the death penalty in Sudan who married a Christian man….

Reports claim that the Sudanese government will not allow Martin’s father to care for him while Meriam is in prison solely because he is both a Christian and an American citizen.

Meriam is currently in prison because she refused to renounce her Christianity in front of a Sudanese court. Because she was born in Sudan and is therefore automatically considered a Muslim by their government, they have condemned her for committing apostasy.

Since Sudan sees her only as a Muslim, they refuse to acknowledge her marriage to a Christian man. Therefore, the court was also able to charge Meriam with adultery.

Meriam has been sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery, but will ultimately be killed when she is hanged for committing apostasy. The court has allowed her time to birth and nurse her baby before she will be killed.

Meriam’s husband has also been to visit her in prison when allowed and the description of what he found is almost unbelievable.

As soon as he heard that his wife was in prison and facing death, Daniel hopped a plane from his New Hampshire home and flew back to his homeland of Sudan.

After his visit, Daniel claimed that his wife was shackled to the floor inside her cell, and that the shackles were causing her ankles to bleed.

Daniel also mentioned that Meriam’s legs are swollen, and he fears she is not receiving the proper medical treatment she needs.

If this is the case, when Meriam goes into labor with her unborn baby, it could prove to be fatal.

Hopefully the proper authorities can step in and save this poor woman before it’s too late. We will continue to keep Meriam and her family in our prayers.
