Brave lawyers

Meriam Ibrahim is now safely living in America with her family.  She was sentenced to death for, as the state of Sudan claimed, converting from Islam to Christianity.  After months of prison and impending doom, many prayers were answered when she, her husband and children all escaped.

Sadly, the lawyers in Sudan who helped her gain freedom are in trouble.

[A]nother attorney, Iman Hassan, complained they had “tarnished the image of Sudan by allowing human rights organizations to put pressure on the government.

"The lawyers are not Christians but work against injustice and for the freedom of the country’s religious minorities."

Here is Megyn Kelly's interview with Meriam after she came to the U.S  She talks about what it was like in prison, the harsh circumstances Christians live under, and her hopes for the future.
