Pope meets Sudanese woman who faced death sentence
Pope Francis privately met Meriam Ibrahim in Rome, blessing her and her infant daughter after the Sudanese government lifted her death sentence. The meeting, described as affectionate, followed the family's arrival with two children and husband Daniel Wani in wheel chair. The visit supports Ibrahim, a Christian condemned for apostasy, amid international pressure and later plans to move to the United States.
