(CBN / Worthy News)– Protesters from some 40 groups marched and rallied outside the White House Thursday, accusing the president of not doing enough to push Sudan to free Meriam Ibrahim, a 27-year-old mother of two who’s been sentenced to die for her Christian faith.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, attended the rally and pointed out Ibrahim, who is a daughter of a Muslim father, has been sentenced to die because she herself is a practicing Christian.
“Very simply the fact that she is a Christian, that she attends a local Catholic church, is deemed a crime there,” Cruz said of Sudan. “And for that crime, she has been sentenced to 100 lashes and then to hang by the neck till dead.” — Source
