A Sudanese woman sentenced to death for abandoning her Islamic faith has been freed from jail, according to her lawyer.
Meriam Ibrahim's death penalty was overturned by an appeal court, the official Suna news agency reported.
She is married to a Christian man and was sentenced under Sharia law to hang for apostasy in May after refusing to renounce Christianity.
Her husband, Daniel Wani, said he was looking forward to seeing her.
He wanted his family to leave Sudan as soon possible.
The death sentence for Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, who gave birth to a daughter in prison not long after she was convicted, sparked international outrage.
Mr Ali said Mrs Ibrahim had shown "extraordinary courage" during her ordeal.
"It's a victory for freedom of religion in Sudan... By Mariam's strong position, we believe that in the future no-one will be subjected to such a trial," he said.
The outcry generated by Meriam Ibrahim's case was difficult for the authorities to ignore.
The government in Khartoum is already dealing with an economic crisis, and conflicts in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile. It simply does not need further ill-feeling - and it is worth pointing out that many of the most vocal opponents of the conviction were Sudanese, not foreigners.
In fact, Mrs Ibrahim's case looks like part of a recurring theme.
In every case, the authorities insist the justice system came to an independent decision, but many believe it bowed to public pressure.
