Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim rearrested at the airport


Ibrahim was freed from jail yesterday.

Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim has been arrested for the second time.

Sources told BBC that Ibrahim was taken into custody Tuesday at the Khartoum airport. Her husband, Daniel Wani, and two children were allegedly with her. On Monday, Wani announced that the family intended to go to the United States.

Ibrahim was freed from prison Monday after spending six months in the Omdurman Federal Women's Prison for apostasy. Although she was raised by an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian mother, Ibrahim is considered Muslim because this was the faith of her estranged father. Her 20-month-old son, Martin, and four-week-old daughter, Maya, were in prison with her. Keep reading
