Meriam Ibrahim who is facing execution in Sudan for marrying a Christian, gave birth early to a baby girl in prison today after 4 months of being shackled to the floor.
She will receive 100 lashes before she is executed – sometime in the next two years.
In a heart-wrenching conversation with her husband during a rare prison visit, Meriam told him: ‘If they want to execute me then they should go ahead and do it because I’m not going to change my faith.’
Meriam insists she has always been a Christian and told her husband she could not ‘pretend to be a Muslim’ just to spare her life.
