So this British teacher in Sudan asked the kids of her class to choose a name for a so called 'classroom Teddy bear'. "Mohamed" was the chosen name and now ( some ) the people want her punished because they see it as a mockery or an insult I suppose. They want her to be punished... the punishment is 40 lashes or serveral months in prison. ta' cabron!

She's currently serving 15 days in jail.

Well I bet she's happy! she get's to go back to Britain. I bet those were 15 of the longest days of her life.


British teacher freed in Sudan teddy row

Teacher Gillian Gibbons was sentenced to 15 days in prison for allowing children at a private English school to name a teddy bear Mohammed -- the same name as the Muslim Prophet. Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir pardoned Gibbons after two British Muslims flew to Khartoum to petition for the teacher's release. British officials have welcomed her amnesty as a victory for "common sense" and say she will return to Britain "soon". Crowds of protesters had marched in Khartoum demanding a tougher sentence for Gibbons, with some calling for her death.
