A
Sudanese woman freed from death row on Monday has been arrested with her family
at Khartoum airport, sources have told the BBC.Meriam Ibrahim was sentenced to
hang in May for renouncing Islam, sparking widespread outrage at home and
abroad.About 40 security agents detained Mrs Ibrahim - along with her husband,
Daniel Wani and two children - at the airport, the sources said.On Monday, Mr
Wani said the family intended to leave for the US. Mrs Ibrahim was released
from prison after an appeal court annulled the death sentence imposed on her. She
was arrested in February, and gave birth to a daughter in prison not long after
being sentenced. The family has been taken to the headquarters of one of
Sudan's security agencies, the sources said. Before she was rearrested, Western
countries had welcomed the decision to rescind the death penalty. Source ( BBC)
