From birth to one hundred lashes within weeks: First picture of death row mother and baby she gave birth to while shackled in Sudanese jail as authorities announce she will receive 100 LASHES before execution for marrying a Christian

In the photo obtained by MailOnline Meriam Ibrahim puts on a brave face as she holds her newborn baby girl Maya who was born in the jail where she has been locked up for eight months. But behind the smile there is a different story - Meriam's eyes have dark rings under them, her arms are alarmingly thin and her face looks gaunt. The Sudanese authorities are intent on pressing ahead with the barbaric punishment despite mounting international outrage. The governments of the UK, the US and the Netherlands have expressed concern and a petition calling for Meriam's release by Amnesty got 650,000 signatures.
