2 Samuel 22:4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Sudanese authorities have released Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim again after her arrest on using what was termed “illegal documents.”
“The airport passport police arrested Abrar after she presented emergency travel documents issued by the South Sudanese Embassy and carrying an American visa,” the Sudanese national security force wrote in a Facebook post. “The Sudanese authorities considered [the action] a criminal violation, and the Foreign Ministry summoned the American and South Sudanese ambassadors.”
Abrar is the Islamic family name used by her relatives.
Ibrahim’s attorney Eman Abdul-Rahman said that she had been released Thursday following significant pressure on the Sudanese government by leaders from other nations including the U.S. State Department.
“We’re encouraged that the State Department is engaged and working to secure the freedom of Meriam and her family,” Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice, told Fox News. “Whether Meriam and her family have been ‘temporarily detained’ or arrested, holding U.S. citizens against their will is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. It has always been our concern that the only way the Ibrahim family could be truly safe is to leave Sudan.”
Praising the Lord AGAIN for answered prayer for our sister in the Lord! We must continue to pray until she and her children are safely out of that country!
Thank you, LORD God Almighty! Your mercy endures forever to us ward in Christ Jesus! We thank you for doing it! We pray for people imprisoned everywhere, O God, that they might know you as the God who sent his word and healed the people and delivered them from out of their destructions and saved them from out of their distresses; as the one who came to set captives free in Jesus’ name.
