Sudanese woman sentenced to death for apostasy
You will not be punished FOR your 'emotions'; you will be punished BY your 'emotions'.
Pay attention, simplify, and (Meditation instruction in a nutshell) "Mind - the Gap."
‘Absit invidia verbo’ - may ill-will be absent from the word. And mindful of that, if I don't respond, this may be why....

Get the wanting out of waiting
What does womanhood matter at all, when the mind is concentrated well, when knowledge flows on steadily as one sees correctly into Dhamma. One to whom it might occur, ‘I am a woman’ or ‘I am a man’ or ‘I’m anything at all’ is fit for Mara to address. – SN 5.2
If they take what's yours, tell yourself that you're making it a gift.
Otherwise there will be no end to the animosity. - Ajahn Fuang Jotiko

When I read that story, I was horrified. I think she should leave that country. I hope a government that doesn't execute people for their religious beliefs will give her asylum.

Re: Greetings, fellow followers!
Sadly, as she is imprisoned, departure looks unlikely.
This is why International pressure MUST be brought to bear upon Sudan's Government.
It's an appalling defiance against basic human rights....
Thank you for signing.
Please, if you can, garner whatever support you can from friends, relatives, social media.... anywhere....

Re: Greetings, fellow followers!
The BBC says shes not going to be put to death until the baby she is pregnant with is 2 years old and there will be several appeals, for one thing she was raised a Christian, not a muslim, so even by archaic islamic law they don't have a good case against her.
18 years ago I made one of the most important decisions of my life and entered a local Cambodian Buddhist Temple as a temple boy and, for only 3 weeks, an actual Therevada Buddhist monk. I am not a scholar, great meditator, or authority on Buddhism, but Buddhism is something I love from the Bottom of my heart. It has taught me sobriety, morality, peace, and very importantly that my suffering is optional, and doesn't have to run my life. I hope to give back what little I can to the Buddhist community, sincerely former monk John

Yes. Sadly, they seem intent on ignoring that, and they're going to murder her anyway.
Lyndon, could you provide a link, please?

Re: Greetings, fellow followers!
Thank you Lyndon.
It's good news of sorts, but all it does is give her a 'stay of execution'.
It remains to be seen whether she will be freed during this time, or kept incarcerated.
Pressure still needs to be kept on.
It's yet another example of how appallingly women are treated in some Middle- and Far-Eastern locations...

Sudanese woman sentenced to death for apostasy
Good news, The Sudanese Christian woman is being freed, what is not clear is whether this amounts just to bail, or actually having the charges dropped.

Re: Sudanese woman sentenced to death for apostasy
The only humanity shown was the countries who registered the strongest possible protests. They would not have made these moves on their own.
Guilt, and fear of financial segregation would be more the thumb-screws prompting this decision....
The article does not make it clear that she has indeed, been released. The fact that the article title is in inverted commas, still prompts me to question their so-called' humanitarian decision'....

Re: Sudanese woman sentenced to death for apostasy
I might not be posting no more so this is a single posting attack :
just saying this is in north-sudan and i think its appropriate to make the distinction - like we dont blame the crimes of north korea on south korea i dont think its ok to blame south sudan on the crimes of north sudan
not saying the poster is wrong - clearly north sudan is called sudan in the media - also in the linked artןcle - but i think it can be nice if we make the difference in this thread - maybe by editing this thread title ?
(if the media would have called it clearly north sudan it would have added to the pressure in this cases in north-sudan a great deal)
