The mother condemned to death in Sudan for marrying a Christian is being prevented from fleeing the country by her callous brother - and could face an entirely new trial.

Meriam Ibrahim has been hit with a new petition by Al Samani Al Hadi who has publicly vowed to execute her if he gets the chance.

But lawyers for Meriam, a 27-year-old doctor, say that he is just acting out of spite and that he does not have any authority over her.

According to DailyMail, Meriam could face an entirely new hearing that could delay her departure by weeks or months.

She faces forgery charges that relate to the documents she used to try and flee Sudan - and could be hauled before a judge again.

The twist represents the latest setback for Meriam in her attempt to leave Sudan and fly to the US.

She was freed on June 30 after spending eight months behind bars in a horrific women's prison in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.

During her time in the facility she gave birth to daughter Maya, one month, in shackles whilst her son Martin, 21 months, was by her side during the entire ordeal.
