Her lawyer says the 27-year-old mother who faced execution for marrying a Christian, was trying to board a plane in Khartoum.

Mariam Yahya Ibrahim was sentenced to death last month for converting to Christianity from Islam.

She was released late yesterday after heavy international pressure on the Khartoum government.

A Sudanese security official says he doesn’t know the reason for Ibrahim’s re-arrest.

Her lawyers says she’s being held at a security building outside the airport with her husband and two children.

Ibrahim was in chains when she gave birth to her daughter less than a fortnight after being condemned to death.

Her chains were removed a day before her release which was welcomed by Western governments and human rights groups.

The woman’s chains were removed last weekend, almost a month after her sentence.

The case of Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag sparked an outcry from Western governments and rights groups.

On May 15, a judge sentenced her to hang for refusing to renounce her marriage to an American Christian.

After her sentence, she gave birth to her second child, chained to her bed.

Sudanese authorities have been mooting her freedom for more than a week although her husband Daniel Wani insists he has not been told.

Her lawyer Mohanad Mustafa says Meriam was released this afternoon.
