A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/kuh5usx . .A Sudanese doctor who married a Christian man and who was convicted earlier this week on charges of apostasy was sentenced to death on Thursday, judicial officials said.
.According to the Sudanese officials, 26-year-old Meriam Ibrahim, whose father was Muslim, was convicted on Sunday and given four days to repent and escape death. She was sentenced after that grace period expired, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
.The sentencing drew condemnation from western embassies in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and international rights groups, including Amnesty International.
.The court in Khartoum also ordered Ibrahim be given 100 lashes for committing zina - an Arabic word for illegitimate sex - for having sexual relations with a non-Muslim man.
. snip .Amnesty International said Ibrahim's conviction and death sentence were "truly abhorrent".
."The fact that a woman has been sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion is appalling and abhorrent," the London-based rights group said. "Adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all."
. The group also called for Ibrahim's immediate and unconditional release. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .
