KHARTOUM, Sudan — A Sudanese woman doctor who married a Christian man and who was convicted earlier this week on charges of “apostasy” was sentenced to death on Thursday, judicial officials said.

This woman is the wife of an American citizen, and is nine months pregnant with her second child.
Her first child is in jail with her.
I just called my Senator, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs, and called on him to interceded for this woman. My Senator is Chris Coons of DE.
His number is 202-224-5042.
Please call your Senators and Congressmen on this issue:

Michelle Obama is into hashtags.
We are into saving a woman and an unborn child’s life.
You won’t even get a hashtag from Moooshelle, but that’s fantastic what you found out and did. I’m going to do the same, this is outrageous as it gets and of course it will be completely ignored by the press and the White house.
Weird though, they are going to wait until she has the child before they execute her. Technically the unborn child belongs to the Christian father but my guess is they will force the child to be raised Muslim.
Also heard that someone in her family reported her actions.
Bless you—every call counts.
Thanks for the additional information.
Evil seems to reside in Sudan.
God doesn’t supply that courage until it’s needed.
