Teacher Gillian Gibbons has been released from prison in Sudan following a row over naming a teddy bear Muhammad. Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir pardoned her after a meeting with two British Muslim peers, Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi.
Mrs Gibbons had been sentenced to 15 days in jail and then deportation from Sudan for allowing her pupils to call a teddy bear Muhammad.She was found guilty of insulting religion and inciting hatred after allowing her class of primary school pupils to name the teddy bear in September.
What's your reaction to Mrs Gibbons’ release?
Do you think the incident was handled appropriately?
