(CNN) -- A Sudanese court has sentenced a Christian woman to death for renouncing Islam, a human rights group said Thursday.


Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted by a Khartoum court this week of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith.


The court considers her to be Muslim, although she converted to Christianity.


Journalist Isma'il Kushkush contributed to this report.
