She's Free!

Wonderful news:)

I hope for her sake that none of the family stay in Sudan.....

[kvalidir]

She's in Khartoum for the moment, but looks as though the US might be happy for her to accompany her husband home there. So far as I can see they have lifted the death sentence but no-one seems quite sure about the 100 lashes, but here's hoping they are lifted too. Anyway it's primarily a happy result.

It is indeed good news, let's hope they can get her on a plane and out of there sharpish.

Some very good news !

Ladybirder posted this news earlier today on the original thread and as she says, until this lady is out of Sudan she is still in danger.

//‘It’s better for her to come to America now as her half brother said that he would kill her if the court did not carry out the sentence.//

I didn't notice it on the 'original' thread Naomi, I scanned down the news section for a new topic about it and since I consider this separate news anyway I think it's worth it's own thread, but thank you for your contribution.

[naomi24]

You're welcome. Best to have all the information. Unfortunately she's not out of the woods yet.

[kvalidir]

No indeed, I shall be much happier when she and her children are out of the country. I hope the US pull their fingers out and get her to safety since her husband lives there.

[ludwig]

That's good news. If we can just get the other 15 million women to safety so much the better.

Let's send them some more money - the corrupt warlords could use some more bling...

The new funding brings the UK’s total support for South Sudan since the start of the crisis in December 2013 to around £93 million. The UK announced a package of £12.5 million in December and £8.3m for the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation in March. £13 million has also been allocated to help refugees in South Sudan and neighbouring countries.

[naomi24]

Ludwig, yes indeed.

[viv38]

Poor woman, she's gone through hell.

[askyourgran]

viv, I wonder how many other cases have gone unreported, what a vile lot they are.

[viv38]

Indeed, probably the tip of the iceberg.

[viv38]

Oh no !
