A British primary school teacher has been arrested in Sudan, accused of insulting Islam's Prophet by letting her class of seven-year-olds name a teddy bear Mohammed, her school said on Monday.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, has been accused of "blasphemy" — an offence punishable by 40 lashes under Sharia — and could be imprisoned for up to six months.

Unity, an independent school founded in 1902, is governed by a board representing major Christian denominations in Sudan, but teaches both Christians and Muslims aged 4 to 18.
