A British teacher in Sudan, Gillian Gibbons, was arrested by Sudanese police on Monday (November 26) for blasphemy. Gibbons was accused of insulting the Muslim prophet for allowing young children (6-year olds)to name a teddy bear Mohammed. The penalty of the said crime carries the death sentence for Muslims in Sudan, where Islamic Sharia law is enforced. But a non-Muslim could face a maximum penalty of lashes, prison, a fine and deportation if found guilty.
