Sudanese Court Issues Death by Stoning Sentence For Heresy

A Sudan court yesterday sentenced a Sudanese citizen to death by stoning for heresy towards Islam.

The court gave the accused three days to repent and avoid the sentence.

This is the second time that a Sudanese citizen has been sentenced to death for heresy since 1983, when shari'a was implemented as the law of the land in Sudan.
