Help Release of Imprisoned Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim
Ask Congress To Pass H.Res 601 Immediately. Will Senate allow murder of Christian, to go on without protest?
Family Research Council has posted a petiton asking for help for a Christian woman condemned to death by the government of Sudan for being a Christian.
FRC asks:
Please contact your Member of Congress and urge them to support H. Res. 601, introduced this week by Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona, calling for the release of imprisoned Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim.
Meriam has spent months in a Sudanese prison and has been sentenced to death -- all for refusing to recant her Christian faith. Just this week, she gave birth to her second child -- a daughter -- while still held in jail. Despite being married to an American citizen and the fact that her children are also eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship, Meriam's case has received little attention from our Department of State or the U.S. Embassy in Sudan. That's why H. Res. 601 also calls upon this Administration to act now on behalf of Meriam and to move quickly to grant her and her children refuge in the United States.
Sudan's egregious treatment of Meriam represents the type of human rights abuses our country has long publically condemned. It's important that Members of Congress act now to pressure the Executive Branch to act and to signal their support for religious freedom and human rights. Please contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor H. Res. 601 today.
