Meriam Yahia Ibrahim, the Sudanese woman who was sentenced to death for 'apostacy' has left Sudan and is now in Italy with her children. Happy news and proof that occasionally a concerted protest gets good results. smile

Thank goodness for that. I was beginning to think she'd never get out.

Whew! The poor woman has been through so much. I do hope it will be plain sailing for her and her children from now on.

Thanks for,letting us know GA. I am delighted to hear this news, not only for Meriam and her family but the proof that protesting does work and if we 'shout' loudly enough, changes can be made.

That is good to know! Other world crises had rather left that story behind.
