Sudan death row woman 'forged papers' | Sudan death row woman 'forged papers' |
(35 minutes later) | |
The Sudanese woman freed from death row has been accused of forging official documents to leave the country, her lawyer has told the BBC. | |
Meriam Ibrahim was detained on Tuesday, a day after a court released her, annulling the death sentence imposed on her for renouncing the Islamic faith. | |
Mrs Ibrahim had emergency travel documents issued by South Sudan when she was detained at Khartoum's airport. | |
Mrs Ibrahim had reportedly planned to travel to the US with her family. | |
She was detained along with her husband, Daniel Wani, and two children. | |
Her lawyer, Elsherif Ali, told the BBC that Sudan's National Security and Intelligence Authority had lodged the complaint against Mrs Ibrahim, accusing her of forging official documents. | |
Mrs Ibrahim is being held at a police station in Khartoum, Sudan's capital, he said. | |
South Sudan's embassy in Khartoum says the travel documents are genuine. | |
Mrs Meriam's husband and children are believed to be staying at the embassy, reports the BBC's Mohamed Osman from Khartoum. | |
They had been detained at the airport with Mrs Meriam, but were later released. | |
With Sudan's intelligence agency now involved, Mrs Ibrahim's case is likely to be more difficult and complicated to resolve, our correspondent says. |
