Sudanese woman, Meriam Yahia Ibrahim, who has been condemned to death for "apostasy" for refusing to leave her Christian faith and turn to Islam, will be allowed to give birth before she is handed 100 lashes and then hanged to death, according to reports. She is currently eight months pregnant.

"I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy," said Ibrahim in her defense to Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa during her court case in Sudan.

The 27-year-old woman was also charged with "adultery" because the Islamic court refused to recognize her marriage to her Christian husband Dr. Daniel Wani.

"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged," Judge Al-Khalifa to Ibrahim.

She is currently being detained behind bars with her nearly 2 year old son (20 months), and has been since her arrest back in February.

"[Her son] is very affected from being trapped inside a prison from such a young age," said Ibrahim's advocate Mohamed Jar Elnabi to CNN from Sudan. "He is always getting sick due to lack of hygiene and bugs."

Elnabi also told CNN about his client's mindset and her faith in Jesus Christ ever since her Christian mother from Ethiopia led her to God after her Sudanese Muslim father left their family when she was only 6-years-old.

"She is very strong and very firm. She is very clear that she is a Christian and that she will get out one day," said Elnabi.

According to Elnabi, Ibrahim's paraplegic husband Wani "totally depends on her for all details of his life" in order to survive.

"He cannot live without her," said Elnabi.

However, Wani is more concerned about his family's wellbeing than his own predicament.

"I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to do," said Wani. "I'm just praying."

International consulates in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum are calling for the release of the young mother who is being persecuted for her religious beliefs inside the northern African country.

"We call upon the Government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, including one's right to change one's faith or beliefs, a right which is enshrined in international human rights law as well as in Sudan's own 2005 Interim Constitution," said the embassies that represent the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Canada in a statement. "We further urge Sudanese legal authorities to approach Ms. Meriam's case with justice and compassion that is in keeping with the values of the Sudanese people."
