udan appeared to be bowing to international pressure on Saturday night to
free a woman sentenced to death for apostasy. A foreign ministry spokesman
said that Meriam Ibrahim would be released and not face further charges.
But lawyers for 27-year-old Ms Ibrahim expressed scepticism that she would
be freed so quickly.
Its a statement to silence the international media, said Elshareef Ali
Mohammed. This is what the government does. We will not believe that she
is being freed until she walks out of the prison."
He said he had even heard reports that the spokesman was in the UK on
medical leave when he told the BBC she would soon be freed.
If they were to release her, the announcement would come from the appeal
court, and not from the ministry of foreign affairs. But at least it shows
our campaign to free Meriam is rattling them. We must keep up the
pressure.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, backed a
statement from the Christian Muslim Forum in Britain calling for the
sentence to be rescinded. I wholeheartedly endorse this call for the death
sentence against Meriam to be dropped, he said.
.
And on Twitter, the campaign to Save Meriam gathered pace with many
calling on the US to do more to prevent the execution. No senior official
has yet spoken about the case. Mia Farrow, the actress and humanitarian
activist, took matters into her own hands, tweeting the telephone number
of the Sudanese embassy in Washington, and urging her 490,000 followers to
call and register their anger.
.
The outcry is evidently rattling the Sudanese government of President Omar
al-Bashir.
.
Last week, in an attempt to counter the growing wave of international
condemnation, a group of about 10 employees of the state-controlled press
went to see Ms Ibrahim, photographed her and published a series of
articles claiming that she was actually a practising Muslim.
.
They wrote that she prayed five times a day and read the Koran which is
totally not true, said Mr Elshareef. She didnt want to talk to them but
did not have the right to say no. They took photos and filmed her, and she
did not like the photos. She asked them to delete the photos, but they
said no, and that they had permission from the head of prisons in Sudan.
.
Mr Elshareef told The Telegraph that they had taken copies of the
newspaper reports published in the government-owned Hikayat, Al Dar, Al
Sudani, and Al Intibaha to show Ms Ibrahim in her cell. Al Intibaha is
owned by the uncle of Mr Bashir.
.
She was very upset, he said. And we were angry because it could influence
the court of appeal.
.
We went to the prison director to complain, but she said that she couldnt
stop them, because they were sent by the government.
.
On Tuesday, Ms Ibrahim gave birth in prison to a daughter, Maya her
second child which poured fuel on the fire of criticism. Mr Wani
provoked an outcry when he told The Telegraph that his wife had been
forced to give birth in a clinic in the prison, rather than in hospital,
and with her legs still shackled.
