Pregnant Meriam from Sudan, sentenced to death, is in labor

According to Meriam Yahya Ibrahim's lawyer, Meriam has gone into labor, but since the warden of Omdurman prison is not available, the prison administration refuses to let her go to the hospital.

If she goes into labor, she will be forced to give birth at the prison clinic.

The conditions in the prison, and at the clinic in particular, are extremely poor and lack the most basic equipment, not to mention equipment to help Meriam should complications arise during childbirth, posing a significant health risk to mother and child.

Thank you for praying for Meriam now.

Meriam is firstly convicted of apostasy from Islam as she is Christian but from a Muslim background. Secondly, she was found guilty of fornication as she is married to a Christian.
