News source [UK media] have reported that Christian Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim who had earlier faced the death sentence for refusing to renounce her Christian faith have landed safely in Italy with her family and is en route to the US.
Her family was accompanied by the Italian Deputy Foreign Minister, Lapo Pistelli, who helped arrange her departure from Sudan and travelled with her to Italy. The family has been sheltered at the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum for almost a month.
Meriam Ibrahim, her husband Daniel Wani, son Martin ( a year and a half), and daughter Maya who was born in prison two months ago met with Pope Francis in the Casa Santa Marta, said Father Federico Lombardi, SJ [head of the Vatican Press Office], a meeting he said took place in a “very serene and affectionate” environment.
