The case had sparked international outrage, and a collective outcry from people and authorities around the world on her behalf, when the 27-year-old pregnant mother of one was accused of "apostasy" from Islam and imprisoned—along with her toddler son—even though she was eight months pregnant.

Meriam was given the opportunity to renounce Christianity but she refused, maintaining that she had been raised as a Christian and was never a Muslim.

Meriam, who was shackled with heavy chains, gave birth to a daughter in prison, while her husband, Daniel Wani—a Christian and an American citizen—worked to free her from the impending death sentence.

Sudan's SUNA news agency said today: "The appeal court ordered the release of Mariam Yahya and the cancellation of the (previous) court ruling."

Amnesty International reported it had received over 980,000 signatures on an online petition condemning the imprisonment, and urging freedom for Meriam.

According to the Daily Mail, Daniel's brother, Gabriel—a resident of New Hampshire—remarked upon hearing the report that "If it's true, it is great news."

He added that Daniel would likely want to bring Meriam and their children to America "as soon as he can."

There are reports that Meriam's half-brother has vowed to kill her if the court's death sentence was not carried out.
