A mother-of-two who faced a death sentence, later overturned, over claims she converted to Christianity in Sudan is flying to the US to start afresh.
Meriam Ibrahim, her husband and children were due to arrive in Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon on a flight from Rome, where she was last week greeted by the Pope.
The family are then expected to take another flight to Manchester, New Hampshire, where her husband, South Sudanese-American Daniel Wani, used to live.
Ms Ibrahim was initially prevented from flying to the US last month after her conviction in May for converting from Islam and marrying a Christian man was quashed.
She gave birth to her baby daughter Maya while in prison.
Ms Ibrahim was convicted of apostasy and adultery despite claiming she had always been a Christian, having been raised by her Ethiopian mother while her Muslim father had left when she was young.
After international outcry, her death sentence was initially suspended for two years so she could nurse the baby in prison.
Ms Ibrahim's young son Martin was also living in prison with her.
The death sentence was later overturned and she was freed, but when Ms Ibrahim went to Khartoum Airport with her family to fly to the US, she was initially accused of forging travel documents and detained again.
After weeks at the US embassy in Khartoum, the family was finally allowed to leave the country.
Last week Ms Ibrahim was invited to the Vatican to meet Pope Francis, who thanked her for being a "witness to faith".
