A court in Sudan handed Noura Hussein, 19, the death penalty after her husband's family refused to accept financial compensation. Supporters of Hussein flocked to the Criminal Court in Omdurman, Sudan's second-largest city, in protest during the trial. They chose death and now the death penalty has been handed down,' said Badr Eldin Salah, an activist from the Afrika Youth Movement who was in the court.
