Sudan Disavow Claims That Woman Sentenced To Death Would Be Set Free...

 

Few days ago, it was been heard that Meriam Ibrahim, the woman who was sentenced to death in Sudan for apostasy will be soon freed after the country's Foreign Minister Abdullahi Alzareg was quoted as saying that Sudan was committed to protecting the woman. Well, according to new reports, that's not going to happen as the Foreign Minister is now saying quotes attributed to him was taken out of context. 

Sudan has officially denied that Meriam would soon be released. Now they are saying Meriam's release will depend on whether a court accepted an appeal request made by her defence team.

 Ministry statement said what Alazreg actually told the media on Saturday was that "the defence team of the concerned citizen has appealed the verdict ... and if the appeals court rules in her favour, she will be released" and not that she will be released by the government because 'the government does not interfere in the work of the judiciary because it is an independent body of its own."
