A woman sentenced while pregnant by
a Sudanese sharia court to be hanged for apostasy after marrying
a Christian gave birth to a girl in prison on Tuesday.
Earlier this month Meriam Yahia Ibrahim was granted a
retrial after an international outcry.
On Tuesday Amnesty International Sudan told NBC News it
"will ask Sudanese authorities to guarantee Meriam's and the
child's safety and to release them immediately".
The death sentence against Ibrahim, 27, was confirmed May
15 after she refused to recant her Christian faith after
marrying Daniel Wani, now a US citizen.
