A Sudanese Christian woman whose death sentence for apostasy was overturned has been freed again after being detained on accusations of forging travel documents.
Eman Abdul-Rahman, the lawyer for 27-year-old Mariam Ibrahim, told The Associated Press that she was released today from a police station after foreign diplomats pressed the government to free her.
Mariam Ibrahim was detained on Tuesday at Khartoum's airport while trying to leave the country with her family.
