Sudan: Shocking photos show mother sentenced to 100 lashes then hang for marrying a Christian

Cowering and screaming for mercy as she is lashed dozens of times, this is the fate that awaits mother-of-two Meriam Ibrahim who has been sentenced to death in Sudan for marrying a Christian. Meriam could be given 100 lashes within days just like this woman as part of her barbaric punishment that has caused outrage worldwide, MailOnline can reveal. Campaigners today said it could leave Meriam scarred, humiliated and with deep psychological wounds that may never heal.

Meriam is still recovering from giving birth to her daughter Maya two weeks ago in the prison in the Sudanese capital Khartoum where she has been held captive since last September.

Her son Martin, 20 months, has been in custody with her the whole time too. Meriam, 27, a doctor, was put on death row after being convicted of apostasy and adultery by a strict Islamic court.

Her case has attracted the condemnation of the governments of Britain, the US and the Netherlands who have branded her treatment as ‘barbaric’.

The Sudanese government appeared to be on the verge of agreeing to releasing Meriam last week under the growing international pressure – but did a dramatic U-turn.

Degrading: The woman was flogged in public as an example to others. The Sudanese government confirmed the authenticity of the video saying she was being punished under Articles 154 and 155 of their penal code

Begging: As the end of the whip cracks against her back the woman pleads for mercy and her mother

Helpless: At one point she grabs the whip but another policeman moves towards her and starts whipping too

Sick: The policeman laughs at the camera as the horrific spectacle unfolds and is amused it is being filmed. Via Omgghana
