Sudanese 'apostasy' woman arrives Rome en route New-York!

The Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim, who was condemned to death for converting from Islam to Christianity, reportedly arrived in Rome with her family on Thursday morning where they will stay for a few days before flying to New York.

According to reports, the 27-year-old, her husband and two children arrived at Rome's Ciampino airport at around 9.30am on a plane provided by the Italian government. 

Meriam was greeted at the airport by Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, his wife Agnese and Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini.

She was accompanied on the flight by Italy’s Deputy Foreign Minister Lapo Pistelli, who met with her on July 3rd and has been following the case closely.

Her stay in Italian was organized by the Italian government in collaboration with the Sudanese government. 

Ibrahim's arrival in the Italian capital follows a European Parliament resolution condemning her “degrading and inhumane treatment” and calling for legal reforms in Sudan. 

A spokesperson for the Italian government was reportedly not immediately available for comment.
