‘Meriam Ibrahim Should be Executed!’ - Brother of Sudanese Woman Sentenced to Death Says

In a recent interview with CNN,The brother of the Sudanese Christian woman, Meriam

Ibrahim who was sentenced to death for apostasy, he said “given a

magic potion” to bewitch her into leaving Islam – and

should be executed for doing so.

Al Samani Al Hadi Mohamed Abdullah had handed his

sister to the authorities because, according to him, his

family are “Muslim people.” He claimed that Ms

Ibrahim, 27, was born as Abrar Al Hadi but changed her

name when she was drugged by her husband, Daniel

Wani. And if she did not return to the devout family

fold, she should be hanged.

“It’s one of two; if she repents and returns to our

Islamic faith and to the embrace of our family,

then we are her family and she is ours. But if she

refuses she should be executed.

Her now-husband Daniel – this ‘priest’ – he gave

her magic potions drink. Or something that

allowed him to convert her.”

Ms Ibrahim, a mother of two, has been in prison in

Khartoum since January on charges of apostasy – or

abandoning her faith. During her trial earlier this month

she told the court that she was never a Muslim, as her

Muslim father left the family when she was six – and

she was subsequently raised as a Christian. But Mr Al

Hadi said that his sister had cut off all ties with the

family and disappeared – until, Mr Al Hadi said, “we

discovered it was because they were hiding her in their

house.”

He continued:

“When she was caught, our sister’s face was

different, the way she looked at us was different.

She was bewitched, like an unconscious person.

She didn’t know any of us. When she stood in

front of the court she said her name was Meriam

Yahya Ibrahim. We were shocked by that name.”

And he said that the family would “not deny Islamic

law” – even if that meant the execution of his sister.

“This is what the law states and we will never

allow any distortion of that. If she dies we will

have enforced God’s word. The solution is that

she is executed. As we have been ordered by our

Prophet, peace be upon him: ‘He who barters his

religion you must kill.’ The world should not

involve itself in our family affairs. This is a family

and these are our private affairs. We don’t want

outside involvement.”

Meriam’s sentencing has caused outrage around the

world which were heightened after reports that her

release was imminent were dismissed by the

government in Sudan. Ms Ibrahim’s lawyers have

appealed against the sentence, and are currently

awaiting a verdict. They have also taken the case to

the African Commission on Human Rights.

Just last week she delivered her baby, Maya, and her

husband told journalists that his wife has sworn that

she will not renounce her Christian beliefs.
