A Sudanese court has sentenced a woman to hang for apostasy after she left Islam and married a Christian man.

''We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death,'' the judge told the woman, AFP reports.

Western embassies and rights groups had urged Sudan to respect the right of the pregnant woman to choose her religion.

Local media report the sentence would not be carried out for two years after she has given birth.

Sudan has a majority Muslim population, which is governed by Islamic law.

The judge also sentenced her to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a Christian man was not valid under Islamic law.

Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic cleric spoke with her in a caged dock for about 30 minutes, AFP reports.

Then she calmly told the judge: ''I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy.''

oh no, this is not good.

Ummati. You're too nice to be associated with scandal after scandal because you're a Muslim. The logical thing is to leave Islam and embrace Christianity. I mean, ben20 alone should give you every reason to flee. * +
