I would like to show my support for Mrs Miriam Yehya Ibrahim of Sudan.

Her wrongful imprisonment and sentence to public whipping and death goes against international standards of Human rights. This is not an internal issue of one country but one that affects all of humanity.

I ask that everyone including world leaders and Nobel peace prize winners to join me in insisting on her right to have control over her own body and demanding her immediate release from prison in order to reunite her with her family.
