An appeals court began considering the case of a Sudanese woman who was sentenced to death last month for refusing to renounce her Christian faith, officials said.
A three-judge panel is hearing the appeal of Meriam Ibrahim, a 27-year-old mother who was forced to give birth in prison two weeks ago. The case has pitted western human-rights and religious groups against Khartoum's Islamic-led courts. Sudan's government shows no sign of stepping into the case despite the international pressure.
Please be in prayer for Meriam during the next few days as her lawyers argue an appeal for her release and pardon.
