Sudan's Prisoner - Meriam Yehya - Update

 
An official from Sudan's Foreign Ministry told the BBC on 31 May that Sudan plans to release Meriam. This is incredible news if true, but until Meriam can walk free, and all charges of apostasy and adultery are dropped, we will continue to call on the authorities to make sure Meriam and her children face no further persecution.
 
Meriam Ibrahim, a Christian woman sentenced to death by hanging for her faith, has reportedly just given birth to a baby girl in a Sudanese prison.
This newborn girl – a U.S. citizen through her American father, Miriam’s Christian husband – is now languishing in harsh prison conditions alongside her 20-month-old American brother.
Meriam’s baby girl was born early Tuesday morning in the prison, and it is unclear how mom and baby are doing. Her American husband, Daniel Wani, and his attorney were barred from visiting her and both of his children today.
