UPDATE on the UPDATE: Meriam Ibrahim and her family are now safe inside the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum while the charges against them are being addressed by their lawyer and U.S. diplomats.
Meriam Ibrahim, who was released from a death sentence, and her family including her husband who is a US citizen are now in Jail in Khartoum facing charges of forging the exit papers and visas that the US diplomats provided to them from South Sudan and the US.
Her Muslim relatives on her father’s side including a half brother lodged a complaint against her which resulted in her arrest at the Khartoum airport.
US State Department diplomats subsequently insisted that the Sudanese officials reveal the current charges that she was being held under. Apparently the family is now being detained under the dubious charge of ‘forging’ the very papers given to them by US officials. Read about this latest development in the World Watch Monitor.
