A woman sentenced to death in Sudan after marrying a Christian could be released within days, according to reports.

Ms Ibrahim was raised a Christian by her mother and has refused to renounce the faith.

However, a court ruled earlier this month that she is Muslim because that was her father's faith.

Her Christian marriage was annulled and she was sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery and death by hanging for renouncing Islam.

Good news! Hopefully she is able to get out free and raise her child. She recently gave birth.
