Mo -Teddy crisis - post 4: Fifteen days in jail & deported from Sudan.

A British teacher has been found guilty in Sudan of insulting religion after she allowed her primary school class to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, has been sentenced to 15 days in prison and will then be deported.

She escaped conviction for inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs, and will now appeal.

Foreign Secretary David Miliband has expressed "in the strongest terms" the UK's concern at her detention.

The Sudanese ambassador, Omer Siddiq, was called back to the Foreign Office to explain the decision.

The Mo-Teddy is available on E-Bay(LINK ABOVE)

For sale due to a change in the school curriculum.

Mo is a delightful little bear who all children would love, but not some adults.

Condition: As new, but by time of delivery may have 40 scratch marks on back.

Any proceeds to Prisoners Abroad http://www.prisonersabroad.org.uk/

Not sure how long that will stay up, we all know how pc E-Bay are these days.

Shame on the Sudan and the narrow minded savages that jailed this woman.

For your enjoyment some more Mohammed Teddy bears.
