According to information received, Daniel Wani the husband of Meriam Yehya Ibrahim who was sentenced to death by hanging by the Sudanese government, for refusing to renounce her Christian faith has returned to Sudan to in a bid to save his pregnant wife.
The U.S. condemned Sudan's court ruling last week, with both the State Department and the White House calling on Sudan to uphold its human rights commitments.
U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who represents New Hampshire, has asked Secretary of State John Kerry to grant Ishag political asylum.
The Sudan Tribune reported over the weekend that the country's parliament speaker, al-Fatih Izz Al-Din, downplayed the death sentence and said it was only preliminary and could be appealed in the future.
It was gathered that Daniel Wani is a Sudanese immigrant with U.S. citizenship.
