"Christian woman sentenced to death for refusing to convert to Islam after being raised as a Christian."

"A heavily pregnant Christian woman in Sudan has been sentenced to hang for not being raised as a Muslim. 

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted on charges of apostasy, or the abandonment of religion, by a court in Khartoum. Following her conviction on Sunday, she was given three days to recant her faith or face a possible death sentence.
.

"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged," Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa told the woman, addressing her by her father's Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah. 
.

Ibrahim also faces a sentence of flogging for adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan is considered void under Shari’a law. She will be given 100 lashes."...

"Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic religious leader spoke with her in the caged dock for about 30 minutes.

Then she calmly told the judge: "I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy."

Sudan's Islamist regime introduced sharia law in 1983 but extreme punishments other than flogging are rare."
