Pregnant Sudanese woman faces hanging for refusing to recant Christiani​ty

"Meriam Ibrahim, a 26-year-old Sudanese woman who is the daughter of a Muslim father and an Orthodox Christian mother, was sentenced to death on Thursday for refusing to deny that she was Christian. Judge Abbas Khalifa convicted Ibrahim of 'apostasy'-abandoning her faith-on Sunday, but gave her until Thursday to change her mind. When the grace period expired, he handed down the chilling penalty of death by hanging...
The judge had previously sentenced Ibrahim to 100 lashes as a punishment for adultery-since her marriage was forbidden under Islamic law."
