This Is the Pregnant Woman Sudan Wants to Hang for Marrying a Christian
 

Lawyers for a pregnant Sudanese woman plan to appeal an Islamic judge's decision that she be flogged with 100 lashes and then be hanged for marrying a Christian man and converting.

Amnesty International and Western embassies are expressing alarm over the harsh sentence meted out to Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag, who is eight months pregnant.

So far the only concession granted by the Islamic court is to wait until Ishag gives birth before carrying out the sentence.

Amnesty International called the court's ruling "truly abhorrent." The organization's Sudan researcher Manar Idriss said that "adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law."

Western embassies in Sudan including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands also echoing that sentiment issued a joint statement expressing "deep concern" about the case and urged Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion.

Amal Habany, a political activist in support of women's rights, said "The court has no appearance of justice or respect for freedom of choice in ones beliefs, personally and individually."

Despite the outrcy, the Islamic court has been unmoved.

The judge told Ishaq, "We gave you three days to recant, but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death." Officially her crime is apostasy.

Ishaq replied, "I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy."

The judge also ruled that her marriage to a Christian man was invalid and not recognized under Islamic law, which means that she had committed adultery. He ordered her to be flogged for that alleged offense.

After the sentence was decreed, the prosecutor's spokesman Ahmad Hassan told the Associated Press that "they were given ample time to prove their innocence, but I for one believe in upholding our traditions and customs as Sudanese."

Saw this on the news a few days ago:



From the Amnesty International website:

Amnesty International - Urgent Action: Meriam Yehya Ibrahim

Thats what you get for living there.

Fucking Religious Nutcases, damn, hope she gets her life saved:2 cents:

All this nonsense over religion. How silly.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Someone needs to advise the "judge" that unless he rethinks his decision a big nasty drone might well be heading his way.

their law is so raiches!

What a messed up country. Religion messes up everything.

Religion is an evil.

fucked up times in a fucked up world... :Oh crap :Oh crap

Happens all the time in those countries, and now all of a sudden the western media picks one of these and calls for outrage. I guess we need to be prepared for another coup fueled by the western countries, this time in Sudan.

It's not all of a sudden. The media has run with these sorts of stories before. Remember the 16 year old Iranian girl who in 2004 was personally hanged by the same judge who, one week previous, convicted her of "offending public morality".

Then in 2007 the media was all over the 17 year old Iraqi girl who was stoned to death because her boyfriend's religion was different.

In the intervening years dozens of similar stories received heavy media coverage as well.

The thing is, once any sort of outrageous act become commonplace, it's no longer news in the sense of being about about anything new.

And when it ain't news, it don't get on the news.

The public gets bored hearing the same shit over and over and over again.

The only reason why the media picked up on this story is that it - like the recent Nigerian schoolgirl story - had a slightly different twist to it.

Nonetheless, in the coming months reports of subsequent kidnappings of still more Nigerian schoolgirls will likewise be greeted with yawns from the general public.

That's just human nature and the media will always be about focusing on things that humans actually tune in to watch.


Won't happen. Sudan is dirt poor and doesn't have any oil.

Muslims are fucked up.

It was only a couple of hundred years ago that the British were still doing some nasty stuff :2 cents:

Fuck islam! I was once in an arab country and tried to get a whore(well i thought this will be the safest method to fuck an arab women there because i heard about their stupid rules of not approaching women on the street etc.). I arrived in their so called Ramadan period of the year, when they don' fuck and eat very little. Because i dared to ask about a whore to a taxi driver, i almost got in a fight with all the taxi drivers that surrounded the taxi station. :321GFY

Islam, Judaism and Christianity are all poisonous cancers on the world.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh i would not ask for shit! those fuckers are violent crazy!

So fucking stupid. If someone tells you to convert your religion or they will hang you then FUCKING CONVERT!!!
Convert to whatever the fuck they want. Be a Klingon. Be a Fartologist. Whatever. Then move to another country where you can be free.
A stupid book is not worth being hanged over.

Its not so much the book as it is man's interpretation that suits his needs. Most people are illiterate in these countries. I know, I was married to a Moroccan girl. When I heard the stuff she believed I asked where she got this nonsense from. "My uncle."

I agree with you though. She should have converted or converted back and got the fuck out of there first chance. Christianity/Islam likes martyrs so she's just trying to fit in. :upsidedow

Jews on the other hand will run like hell. Smart people. :thumbsup

And you wonder why your "whitey be opressin me" threads don't work. :upsidedow

If one needs to try and find a whore during Ramadan wait until about 2 hours after sundown. Talk about ignorant travelers.:1orglaugh

what????

Next time you wanna fuck in Islamic world you let me know. I know a couple whores in Algiers who'll take care of you. And a couple in Casablanca, and a couple in Cairo...:1orglaugh

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

ADG

they are some of worlds' biggest hypocrites - they have so much suppressed frustrations because of the rules they lay upon themselves. Reacting like animals when you as a tourist ask this, while they have the dirtiest fantasies (and actions) because of this taboo culture. They make themselves crazy by living against human nature, very weird.

That's sooo messed up.

They need to change their laws. Or made, not with violence though.

I have found out that thing to wait after the sundown to find a whore and this time i went in their medina with a "vacation friend" that i met at the hotel, he was looking only for something to smoke so we both wanted something.

He easily found some hash and i found only a proposal to fuck a 60 years old hooker, the only thing available at that time.
Eh, as a consolation of my friend, at least i smoked something...:disgust

Crazy fuckers.

Fairy tales from thousands of years ago dictating if this woman lives and dies.

Yay... religion!!
