Sudanese woman, Meriam Ibrahim re-arrested at airport

Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese woman who was freed yesterday from death row after months of being in detention for marrying a Christian and denouncing her Muslim faith has been re-arrested by security officials at the Khartoum Airport in Sudan.

One of Ms Ibrahim's lawyers said she was being held at a security building outside the airport along with her Christian American husband Daniel Wani and their two young children.

Her husband said on Monday the family intended to travel to the US upon her release. About 40 security agents detained Ms Ibrahim today as they tried to board a plane.
