Gillian Gibbons, imprisoned and threatened by angry mobs for allowing her students to name a teddy bear “Muhammad,” says she wants to stay in Sudan.
KHARTOUM: The British teacher jailed for naming a teddy bear Muhammad has said she wished she could stay in Sudan.
Gillian Gibbons, who faces deportation when she is released, said: “I’m really sad to leave and if I could go back to work tomorrow then I would.”
In a statement issued through her legal team on Saturday, she added: “I’m fine, I’m well, I’m very grateful to all the people who have been working on my behalf. I know so many people out there have done so much. I want people to know that I have been well treated and especially that I am being well fed.”
