Talk about a war on women.
A pregnant Sudanese woman has been sentenced to be hanged for converting to Christianity. The Sudanese court magnanimously will allow her to give birth and wean her baby before executing her. However, she is also sentenced to be flogged for adultery because her marriage to another Christian isn’t recognized under Sharia law. So once she has recovered from childbirth she’ll receive 100 lashes.
After the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag diplomacy effort got so much attention, people are cynically wondering why there is no hashtag for Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag.

Can someone point me to the hashtag where moderate #muslims are denouncing the apostasy death sentence in Sudan? I can't seem to find one.
