Sudan death sentence woman 'freed'
#1
Apparently the death sentence passed on the Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim's for apostasy has been overturned and she has been released from jail. I wonder how much of this decision was due to pressure from the West?

As equality and civil rights for glbt people is expanding in most of the rest of the world, this part of the world is becoming more harsh and dangerous for gays and lesbians. Sadly, some of the blame is from the religious right in the U.S. who's influence on glbt matters is waning in their own country, so they seem to be shifting their influence as some sort of last stand to this part of the world.
