A Sudanese woman freed from death row on Monday has been detained with her family at Khartoum airport, sources have told the BBC.
Meriam Ibrahim was sentenced in May to hang for renouncing Islam, sparking widespread outrage at home and abroad.
About 40 security agents detained Mrs Ibrahim - along with her husband, Daniel Wani and two children - at the airport, the sources said.
A top Sudanese official has told the BBC she would be freed "soon".
Abdullahi Alzareg from the ministry of foreign affairs told the BBC's Newshour programme that Mrs Ibrahim had been arrested because she did not have the correct travel documents.
Although she is Sudanese, she was using emergency South Sudanese papers with a US visa, he said.
Her husband is a Christian from what is now South Sudan and has US nationality.
One of Mrs Ibrahim's lawyers, el-Shareef Ali, told the BBC that her legal team is being denied access to her.
She was released from prison on Monday after an appeal court annulled the death sentence imposed on her.
Meriam Ibrahim with her husband Daniel Wani (L), children and legal team after her release in KhartoumShe was arrested in February, and gave birth to a daughter in prison not long after being sentenced.
The family has been taken to the headquarters of one of Sudan's security agencies, the sources said.Before she was detained on Tuesday, Western countries had welcomed the decision to rescind the death penalty.
Born to a Muslim father, Mrs Ibrahim, 27, married Mr Wani in 2011.
Sudan has a majority Muslim population, and Islamic law has been in force there since the 1980s.
Even though Mrs Ibrahim was brought up as an Orthodox Christian, the authorities considered her to be a Muslim because that is the religion of her father.
Hian! Detained again kwa! O chimmo!

I comment my reserve for u. Pls Religion is a sensitive issue, dnt just let us attack oneanother on this. If u dnt have any meaninful comment to make, abeg keep quiet
DeleteAnon 10:47 pm please forgive Linda but I have some questions that need to be answered
Delete1. The current war unfolding in Iraq is perpetuated by ISIS... Yes or No?
2. Is ISIS a Christian organization?
3. Is BH a Christian organization?
4. Egypt was under siege by a certain brotherhood ...was the brotherhood a christian one?
This streak of militant Islam has devastated India, Mali, Nigeria, the Middle East, South East Asia, America(Boston killings), the Uk, North America.
Abi the suicide bombings, hijackings,kidnappings ( #bringbackourgirls) na Christian CNN film tricks?
Cool ya temper no vex
The issue of hypocrisy and false witness is a complete NO-No people pass judgement based on News in the mainstream media.
No vex you hear? Speak for yourself and not your religion.
Not all Muslims believe in militant Islam share.
One love

ReplyDeleteWhat is this imbecile typing?! Please read before u post ur blunder next time.
DeleteWill they leave this woman alone!!! Haba.
ReplyDeleteSeems like they want the wrath of God to descend upon their country.
Why are they clapping on this woman's head? Can't they just let her be? It's like they want to kill her by all means. She should have fled by road to another country then caught a plane from there. If you want to dine with the devil you have to use a long spoon. Wicked people.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAgain? Her legal team need to continue drawing global attention to her case until she reaches a safe haven. Praying for God's protection on her and her immediate family.

DeleteIt is so sad that some countries don't allow their citizenry to have freedom to show their religion. So many other people in her shoes have being killed cos their cases did not have the necessary media coverage. Visit www.madamsabi.wordpress.com for true stories of real people.
ReplyDeleteOh dear!! This is really sad. Tolerance should be preached in all societies. I do hope freedom comes her way soon.
