The case of Mariam Yahya, who is married to a Christian American, set off an international outcry [AFP] |
The case of Mariam Yahya Ibrahim, who is married to a Christian American, triggered an international outcry. Britain had last month summoned the Sudanese charge d'affaires in protest at the sentencing.
"The appeal court ordered the release of Mariam Yahya and the cancellation of the [previous] court ruling," Sudan's SUNA news agency said on Monday.
A government official had told Reuters news agency on May 31 that Sudanese officials were working to release Ibrahim.
Ibrahim was sentenced to 100 lashes for what it deemed her adultery for marrying a Christian.
She gave birth in prison to a daughter, her second child by her American husband Daniel Wani.
