Meriam and her husband

The woman who was put on death row in Sudan for marrying a Christian then freed after nine months in jail has been rearrested on Tuesday.

Meriam Ibrahim and her husband Daniel Wani were both held at an airport in the capital Khartoum as they apparently ktried to flee the country.Meriam, 27, a doctor, had only been released from prison yesterday - and going back to jail will cause her unimaginable agony.Daniel’s arrest also creates a headache for the US government as he is an American citizen who lives in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The couple were detained by around 40 security agents with their two children, Maya, one month, and Martin, 21 months.Meriam's lawyer, Shareif Ali Shareif, told MailOnline: 'Meriam Ibrahim and Daniel Wani were arrested at the airport two hours ago .
'They are now in the detention of the National Security forces. The family were trying to leave Sudan for a safe place.'The children are with Meriam. They were arrested as well.'The National Security force does not have to take them to court.

This is not a criminal matter, it a national security matter.'This afternoon, activist Antonella Napoli said Meriam was stopped because she was allegedly travelling on a false document. She aooears to have a travel document that was issued in South Sudan with a USA visa stamp.
