Girl forced to watch her father/brother killed by Boko Haram tells her story
5/22/2014 12:38:00 PM
Deborah told the story of how her father, a Christian pastor who had been asked to deny his faith and her brother were both killed in a singular attack on the evening of Dec 22 2011 by three members of Boko haram. She said the men shot her dad 3 times on the chest and as they deliberated on whether to kill her brother, her dad breathed his last when he heard gun shots fired at his son, Caleb.
Deborah said she was then asked her to lie in between their corpses. She laid there until the next morning when she was rescued by a local Pastor who paid for her to be transported out of the region. Sadly, the pastor who assisted her was also killed in 2013 by the sect men. Continue...
During her presentation, Deborah held up a paper sign reading "#BringBackMySisters" for video cameras and photographers.
"I decided to tell the world my story when the Chibok girls were taken because everyone needs to know how horrible Boko Haram is. They kill innocent people who never hurt them. I want the world to understand what happened to me. I hope the kidnapped Chibok girls will take courage from my story, and know more of what God says, and know what it means to stand strong in the face of bad people." she said
Deborah was asked to describe how she felt about Boko Haram after all she had been through and she replied "It's a hard question. I think they're bad. I can't judge them. The Bible said do not judge."
Son of pregnant Sudanese woman sentenced to death forced to live in her prison cell
5/22/2014 12:28:00 PM
We thought that Meriam's story could not get any worse, but it has. It turns out that while a very pregnant Meriam awaits her death sentence in prison, her precious little boy has been forced to live inside her prison cell with her. Meriam will also have to care for her unborn baby in that cell once it is born.
The UN is intervening and trying to save an 8 month pregnant woman from the death penalty in Sudan who married a Christian man….
Reports claim that the Sudanese government will not allow Martin's father to care for him while Meriam is in prison solely because he is both a Christian and an American citizen. Continue...Meriam is currently in prison because she refused to renounce her Christianity in front of a Sudanese court. Because she was born in Sudan and is therefore automatically considered a Muslim by their government, they have condemned her for committing apostasy.
Since Sudan sees her only as a Muslim, they refuse to acknowledge her marriage to a Christian man. Therefore, the court was also able to charge Meriam with adultery.
Meriam has been sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery, but will ultimately be killed when she is hanged for committing apostasy. The court has allowed her time to birth and nurse her baby before she will be killed.
Meriam's husband has also been to visit her in prison when allowed and the description of what he found is almost unbelievable.
As soon as he heard that his wife was in prison and facing death, Daniel hopped a plane from his New Hampshire home and flew back to his homeland of Sudan.
After his visit, Daniel claimed that his wife was shackled to the floor inside her cell, and that the shackles were causing her ankles to bleed.
Daniel also mentioned that Meriam's legs are swollen, and he fears she is not receiving the proper medical treatment she needs.
If this is the case, when Meriam goes into labor with her unborn baby, it could prove to be fatal.
