Breaking News: Gillian Gibbons, the teacher who allowed her class to name a teddy Muhammad, is to be released. The BBC are just reporting that she has been pardoned by the President of Sudan after the visit by two British Muslim peers - Labour's Lord Ahmed and Tory Baroness Warsi.
Fantastic news, and none too soon. Will they also acknowledge that it was a disproportionate sentence for her crime? Almost certainly not explicitly, but at least they have implicitly accepted it by releasing and pardoning her.
