Meriam Ibrahim freed again but future still unsure

From The Church Times-

ON SUNDAY, Meriam Ibrahim was in jail in Khartoum, in Sudan, facing the death penalty for apostasy.

On Monday, she was free, after the Sudan court of appeal overturned her original sentence.

On Tuesday, however, she was detained at Khartoum airport by up to 40 agents from the Sudanese security service, as she tried to leave the country with her husband, Daniel Wani, and two children, for the United States, where Mr Wani has citizenship.

But, by Thursday, she had been freed again, and was safely ensconced in the US embassy in Khartoum.
