"The judge found Gillian Gibbons guilty and sentenced her to 15 days jail and deportation," said Ali Mohammed Hajab, a member of her defense team.

It's way better than six months in jail and 40 lashes...

She's a teacher, she'll find another job. They're letting her go easy, they could have done worse. Remember all the talk about lashing her?

However, the teacher at Unity High School in Khartoum will probably be cleared and released soon, a spokesperson for the Sudanese embassy in London said.

"I am pretty certain that this minute incident will be clarified very quickly and this teacher who has been helping us with the teaching of children will be safe and will be cleared," Khalid al-Mubarak told BBC radio.

"Our relationship with Britain is so good that we wouldn't like such a minute event to be overblown.''

Sudan's Foreign Ministry yesterday played down the significance of the case, calling it "isolated."

So much for that then!

15 days in jail is 15 days in jail. I pray for that woman's safety whilst in jail.

This is crazy, unevolved, gross and abnormal, etc.........

Well, those are the laws of the Sudan. And last time I checked, it's a sovereign nation, isn't it? Not my place to ponder or judge about their fairness.

It's a crime by every definition of the word. US and Europe do NOT govern the entire world.

Give us time, we're working on it.

Pretty harsh for what the Sudanese gov't played down as a minute event just a day or so ago.
