“A Sudanese Christian woman detained when she tried to travel to the United States after her release from death row was freed and took refuge at the US embassy, her lawyer said.

“She is in the US embassy now,” Mohanad Mustafa said of Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, 26.

“She and her husband think this is a safe place for them,” after receiving death threats, Mustafa told AFP.

In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Ishag and her family were “in a safe location” and Sudan’s government “has assured us of the family’s continued safety.”

Citing privacy considerations, she declined to specify further the location of Ishag, whose arrest — and potential execution — raised deep concern among human rights campaigners in the United States.” * Cenk Uygur (www.twitter.com/cenkuygur), Ana Kasparian (www.twitter.com/AnaKasparian), Jimmy Dore (TYTComedy, The Jimmy Dore Show), and Lissette Padilla (www.twitter.com/lizzette) break it down on The Young Turks.

The Young Turks (Winner – Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don’t patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
