Sleeping peacefully in the arms of her father, this is precious baby Maya born in jail to the woman facing execution in Sudan for marrying a Christian U.S. citizen. Our exclusive picture shows father Daniel Wani holding his daughter for the first time.
Daniel's wife Meriam Ibrahim, 27, (top right) gave birth to Maya five days early in the hospital wing at Omdurman Federal Women's Prison in North Khartoum yesterday. Her lawyer Mohaned Mustafa Elnour said the couple are 'happy and proud' of their new arrival and that it has brought a momentary ray of light to an otherwise bleak and desperate situation. Daniel was allowed to visit his newborn and also his 20-month-old son, Martin, (bottom right) who is being held in the prison with his mother.
