Tod -- You are one of over 800,000 people who signed my petition to free Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese mother who has been sentenced to death for her religious beliefs, on Change.org. When I started my petition, Meriam was eight months pregnant and had just been sentenced to death for marrying a Christian man and refusing to convert to Islam. Since then hundreds of thousands of people have stood up for Meriam by using the #SaveMeriam hashtag on Twitter, and the international outcry has prompted world leaders and international organizations to speak out against her sentence. Last week, Meriam gave birth to her daughter in prison. The Sudanese government has said that she will not be executed until her daughter is two years old but she is by no means out of danger. Can you help my campaign to free Meriam by sharing my petition on Facebook? Despite some incorrect reports that Meriam had been released, she, her newborn daughter, and her 20-month-old son continue to be held in prison. Meriam is still facing death for exercising her right to freedom of religion. Right now a Sudanese court is considering an appeal by Meriam’s lawyers that could free her from jail and suspend the death sentence. It’s more important now than ever to keep up the pressure to save Meriam. Will you please take a moment to continue supporting my campaign by sharing the petition on Facebook?
