Meriam Ibrahim, a Christian woman
who was sentenced to death in majority-Muslim Sudan for apostasy
before being released in the face of international outrage,
landed in Rome on Thursday. The 27-year-old was greeted by
Italian Premier Matteo Renzi when she landed at Rome's Ciampino
airport the end of a ordeal that lasted almost a year. "Today is
a day of celebration," Renzi said after meeting Meriam, who
travelled to Italy on a State flight. "It's a great joy," said
Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini.
