“Teddy row teacher to be released”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Teacher Gillian Gibbons is to be released from prison in Sudan after she was jailed for allowing children in her class to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Mrs Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was jailed for 15 days by a court in Sudan.

Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir pardoned her after a meeting with two British Muslim peers, Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was “delighted and relieved” at the news and that “common sense had prevailed”.

The BBC’s Adam Mynott said Mrs Gibbons is expected to be released later on Monday.

The jailing of Mrs Gibbons has led to an international outcry and has embarrassed the government.”
