“The case against Ishag dates from 2013 when “a group of men who claim to be Meriam’s relatives” filed an initial legal action, the vicar’s statement said.

In fact, she had never seen those men before, the statement added, in comments confirmed by the lawyer Mustafa.

Ishag and her husband own a barber shop, a mini-mart and an agricultural project in Gedaref, the vicar said.

Mustafa did not know if there was a link between the businesses and the case against Ishag but he said: “Surely there is something behind this”.

The Ishag case was the latest problem facing Sudan, an impoverished nation battling rebellions in its west and south, while more than six million people need humanitarian aid.”

hmmmm
