Why can't they just let this woman be, is it by force for one to belong to a certain religion?....Not less that 48 hours she was set free to go, they re-arrested her again and now according to new reports from Dailymail, she has been charged with fruad and banned from leaving the country.It is not clear if her husband Daniel Wani, who is from Manchester in New Hampshire, has also been charged with any offenses.
Meriam Ibrahim has been accused of falsifying travel documents as she tried to leave the African country hours after the death penalty was dropped against her. It is understood that the authorities told her she should have used the Muslim name she had when she was born, not the Christian name she uses after choosing to worship that faith.
The new allegations are a huge setback to Meriam's hopes of leaving Sudan and a further sign that the Sudanese government is playing twisted games over her release.
Meriam, a doctor, is on bail which was put up by a friend. She cannot leave Sudan until this matter is resolved as part of her bail conditions.It came as campaigners working to free the mother-of-two attacked the U.S. Department of State for its ‘shameful’ response to helping her.
Tina Ramirez, founder of religious freedom organization Hardwired, called for Congress to investigate the 'incredibly negligent' handling of Meriam Ibrahim’s case. Meriam and her husband were detained at the airport of the Sudanese capital Khartoum when they tried to leave the country with their son Martin, 21 months, and daughter Maya, one month.
Meriam was only freed on Monday after nine months in jail, during which she was shackled to the floor while she gave birth to Maya.The following day, Tuesday, on what should have been her first full day of freedom, she instead found herself back in custody
