Presidential or “pandering?”: Hillary condemns Sudanese death sentence
@HillaryClinton Thank you for speaking out on this important religious freedom issue

Hillary Clinton tweeted a condemnation of the Sudan’s human rights offenses—specifically in the case of Meriam Yahya Ibrahim Ishag, the pregnant Christian woman sentenced to death by a Sudanese court for apostasy. Ibrahim has also been sentenced to be flogged for adultery because the court does not recognize her marriage to a Christian. Clinton’s statement was met with both support and skepticism.
@HillaryClinton HILLARY 2016!!!!!!

@samstorer Valid point, but I don't think any of the 50 United States have the death penalty for apostasy or adultery. @hillaryclinton
