    Some Good News For Once...

    That poor Sudanese woman sentenced to death for marrying a Christian is to be freed thanks to international condemnation.

    And in the DM too!

    That's a nice cheery bit of news to go to bed on this Saturday night

      She was among a group of disadvantaged students chosen for the expedition
      The student said she wanted her climb to inspire other young people from impoverished backgrounds

            Well she still hasn't been released.

            Seems to have dropped out the news though.

              I did read the other day that she'd finally had her shackles removed but was still banged up.

              The Sudanese government were still indicating that she was going to be freed.

                  with proper support I think its excellent news, someone most of India consider below dogs has done something 0.000000000000000000001% of the population of the world has done.

                  Its like the class spotty geek copping off with Elle McPherson!
