Protesters demand teacher's death

November 30, 2007

Primary school teacher Gillian Gibbons was found guilty of insulting Islam on Thursday (Nov 30) by allowing her class to name a teddy bear Mohammad, the name of the prophet of Islam. She was also found guilty of showing contempt for religious beliefs. She was sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation after she completes her sentence. One defence lawyer said Gibbons had already served five days of her sentence since her arrest on Sunday and that she may not have to serve all the remaining days.
