The BBC moved an alert saying Gillian Gibbons, a British teacher who named a Teddy bear 'Muhammad' in her class, has been sentenced to 15 days by a Sudan court.
After serving her sentence, she faces deportation.
Addendum
Here's the Guardian story and some commentary from Meera Selva:
Gillian Gibbons has fallen foul of the most ridiculous regime, which cannot seem to see the absurdity and injustice in even arresting, never mind charging, a teacher over the naming of a soft toy.
But this case is not, as is being portrayed, a confrontation between Islam and the west - it is about the hazards of living under a chauvinistic military regime with an all-pervasive secret service. ...
Selva said the regime of Omar al-Bashir needs the support of Islamists to survive. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood had been agitating for Gibbons to get the maximum sentence of six months in jail and 40 lashes:
Bashir now uses the concept of Arab supremacy rather than Islam, as a rallying call to prop up his own power base. This is the language he used in Darfur to incite militias to attack devout Muslim civilians, and is the language used to encourage suspicion and mistrust of foreigners.
The Sudanese government has conceded several points to the international community recently in agreeing to allow UN and AU troops into Darfur and southern Sudan, but the Sudanese are deeply uncomfortable with having foreign troops on their soil. In this climate, it is easy and tempting for the Sudanese politicians in Khartoum to whip up anti-foreign sentiment against a teacher to disguise their loss of sovereignty elsewhere. One can only hope they realise just how much damage is being done by their irresponsible actions soon and defuse this insane situation.
