Nada (wife) and Hamouda (husband)* were criminally prosecuted and faced punishments of 100 lashes each, in addition to a year of expatriation for converting to Christianity in Sudan. Further, family members threatened to carry out honour killings to punish them for their conversions. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Although apostasy was decriminalized in Sudan in 2020, Christian converts continue to face persecution and criminal charges for their conversions through sham charges. In the case of Nada and Hamouda, prosecutors ultimately brought baseless charges of \u201ccriminal adultery\u201d against the couple after the court deemed their marriage unlawful because of their conversions. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First Christmas in safety<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ADF International allied lawyers represented Nada and Hamouda in court for months, but it became clear during the trial that the penalties and threats facing the couple were imminent and life-threatening. In conjunction with the Shai Fund and Ambassador Services International, ADF International secured the rescue of Nada, Hamouda, and their children safely out of Sudan to the United States. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe are overjoyed that Nada, Hamouda, and their children are now able to practise their faith without fear for their lives. After facing imminent risk of death in Sudan, they are now looking forward to celebrating Christmas in their new home, alongside their new community and church family,\u201d said Kelsey Zorzi, Director of Advocacy for Global Religious Freedom for ADF International. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhile both international and Sudanese law protect Nada and Hamouda\u2019s right to freely choose and live out their faith, it\u2019s clear that Christian converts in Sudan continue to face severe threats and hostility from the government and community. ADF International is committed to providing the strongest legal defence for the persecuted Church, and we will continue to seek justice for those like Nada and Hamouda who are unjustly punished for their faith.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sham Criminal Charges Targeting Conversion<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nada and Hamouda were both Muslim when they married in 2016. When Hamouda converted to Christianity in 2018, Nada\u2019s family exerted threats against her and applied pressure for her and her children to abandon Hamouda and return to live with her family. At the time, Sudan\u2019s penal code included apostasy as a crime worthy of the death penalty. In 2020, apostasy was decriminalized in Sudan. Shortly thereafter, in 2021, Nada converted to Christianity and returned home to Hamouda with their children.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, after Hamouda\u2019s conversion to Christianity, the Sharia court dissolved his and Nada\u2019s marriage, deeming it unlawful for a Muslim woman to be married to a Christian man. It was on the basis of their reunification as a family, now that their marriage was deemed unlawful, that they were prosecuted.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Either outcome at court could have resulted in death<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the newly released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L3T5q4JlOBQ\">video<\/a>, Zorzi explains, \u201cBecause of their conversions, the Sharia court determined that their marriage was invalid, and therefore the prosecutors were able to bring sham charges of adultery against them both because they reunited.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Zorzi continues in the video, saying \u201cADF International fought tirelessly for justice for Nada and Hamouda in the courts. But, after months of hearings, it became clear that, if we lost the case, the punishment they faced could result in death. And if we won the case, Nada\u2019s brother had publicly vowed to kill them himself. We knew we had to activate our networks to get them safely out of Sudan as quickly as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Only 4.4% of Sudan\u2019s population of 44.6 million is Christian.

Converts are also denied inheritance, and if they are already married, are forcibly divorced from their husbands.<\/span><span
