The 27-year-old was sentenced to death last month for converting from Islam to Christianity and gave birth to a daughter in jail. A Sudanese court has ordered the release of the woman sentenced to death for converting to Christianity, according to state media.
The case of Meriam Ibrahim, who is married to a Christian American, triggered an international outcry. She gave birth to their baby daughter while in prison.
She was convicted last month of apostasy and adultery and claimed she was a Christian, having been raised by her Ethiopian mother while her Muslim father had left when she was young.
The 27-year-old married Daniel Wani in 2011 and has refused to renounce her faith.
But a court in Khartoum insisted she was a Muslim, and in Sudan such interfaith marriage is forbidden.
Ms Ibrahim has been accused of converting from Islam to Christianity.
She was sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery and to hang for apostasy.
"The appeal court ordered the release of Meriam Yahya and the cancellation of the (previous) court ruling," Sudan's SUNA news agency said
