This was covered in Sudan by BBC Arabic and Amnesty International, but there was little coverage in local Arabic press. While the English article en:Noura Hussein has around 3000 pageviews, the Arabic article ar:قضية نورا حسين got over 6000.
There were a thousand pageviews alone on the day the sentence was overturned. (See Pageviews Analysis)
