British political leaders, including David Cameron, have spoken out against the impending execution of a Christian woman in Sudan.

According to the Christian Institute, the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, and leader of the Opposition, Ed Milibrand, have all condemned the death sentence given to Meriam Ibrahim for ‘apostasy’, and ‘adultery’. However, the Obama administration have yet to comment on the case, despite the fact that Ms Ibrahim is married to a US Citzen.

Ms Ibrahim, 27, was sentenced to death by hanging and 100 lashes after a court ruled she had left Islam and committed adultery by marrying a Christian. Ibrahim gave birth to her second child, Maya, last week, and was already caring for her son, Martin, while in prison.

She has refused pressure to renounce her faith, declaring in a caged court dock last month: “I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy”.

Ibrahim was raised in her mother’s Orthodox Christian faith – her Muslim father was not present during her upbringing.

David Cameron commented: “I urge the government of Sudan to overturn the sentence and immediately provide appropriate support and medical care for her and her children. The UK will continue to press the government of Sudan to act.”

Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, also expressed outrage, saying Ibrahim’s imprisonment was “utterly appalling”.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg described the sentence as “a flagrant breach of international human rights”.

Meanwhile, according to usnews.com, US Senator Jim Inhofe has called on Secretary of State John Kerry to offer Ms Ibrahim and her family asylum on behalf of the U.S. Government.

“I fear for the health and safety of Ms. Ibrahim, her husband and two children,” Inhofe told his former senate colleague, “despite statements by the government of Sudan that no sentence will be carried out until two years after the completion of her appeals.” There has been as yet no response from Sec. Kerry or the Obama administration.
