'I never imagined this would happen', says Sudan teacher

Gillian Gibbons, the teacher jailed in Sudan for allowing her students to name a teddy bear Mohammed, arrived back in Britain today and declared: “I never imagined this would happen. I am just an ordinary primary school teacher.”

Looking happy to be home, Mrs Gibbons added: “I went out there to have a bit of an adventure and got more of an adventure than I bargained for.”
