It's no wonder that we in the West can't stand the Muslim religion: U.K. Officials Visit Teacher in Sudan Jail as Protests Erupt 2007-11-30 08:41 (New York) By Karl Maier Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. embassy officials today visited the British teacher convicted by a Sudanese court of insulting Islam as protesters took to the streets of Khartoum calling for her death, an embassy spokesman said. Gillian Gibbons, 54, was sentenced yesterday to serve 15 days from the day of her arrest on Nov. 25 and then she will be expelled. British officials are still negotiating with the Sudanese government to seek her release, embassy spokesman Omar Daair said in a telephone interview from Khartoum. ``Deputy Ambassador Hugh Evans visited her and she was fine,'' Daair said, refraining from specifying where she is being held. ``We understand there were about 600 people involved in the demonstration.'' Gibbons allowed her class of 6- and 7-year-old children to name a teddy bear used in a school project in September. Muhammad, the name of Islam's prophet, was the most popular choice. The pupils were studying animals and their habitats. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband held a 45-minute meeting with the Sudanese ambassador to London, Omer Siddiq, after the verdict was announced, the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. Miliband earlier called for the teacher's release, saying the incident was an ``innocent misunderstanding.'' --With reporting Robin Stringer in London. Editors: Peter Torday, John Deane

Tania Lukasiewicz sent a message to the members of CANADIAN CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. -------------------- Subject: PRESS RELEASE MEDIA ADVISORY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 12, 2007 As a Foreign Consul I will not and can not comment on Canadian internal regulations. I am interested in them however as far as they concern the security and safety of Polish citizens, both residing in this country and coming to Canada. For obvious reason Poland want her citizens to feel save and secure, so I welcome any changes relating to any improvement in that field. Changes that will prevent senseless loss of Human life. The recent tragic death of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport was a shock to all of us, not only Poles but Canadians as well. I would like to thank all individuals and organisations whose letters of support and sympathy I received and whose actions proved that there is a great concern for civil rights and liberties of common people. In particular I would like to give thanks to Canadian Civil Rights Movement for all the efforts taken together with British Columbia Civil Liberties Association.
