Teddy bear teacher to be freed

It is being announced that President Bashir has pardoned the school teacher involved in the teddy bear crisis.

I for one believe that it is the only sane way to end the crisis. After letting the courts practice their laws without interference (it would have been termed meddling in internal affairs of a sovereign state!) a presidential pardon is the only way to save face.

She had already served out half her time. Atleast, she had not seen the inside of the women prison. (she was kept in a secret location and fed lots of apples!) I had hoped she does even for a day so that she can tell the world the conditions as an eye withness!

Go well, Mrs Gibbons. I hope you dont bear grudges against the Sudanese people. The ragtag group into whose hands you fell are a minority and does not represent us at all. I wish you well.

Darfurian women sentenced to death by stoning for adultery

This is the worse barbaric act being done in the name of Islam. Stoning women for adultery and letting the men go Scot-free just beats the mind. It takes two to tango, the saying goes. If you cannot prove that the men commit adultery, how can you convict the women?

It is just mind boggling. Let us campaign for the release of these poor women from Darfur.

Get more information from Drima. Let us spread the word.
