Khartoum/London - Protests erupted in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Friday as thousands of angry demonstrators demanded the death of a British teacher who was charged with blasphemy for allowing her students to name a teddy bear Mohammed. The protestors poured out of mosques following Friday prayers, some carrying knives and clubs, just a day after Gillian Gibbons, 54, was sentence to 15 days in prison, rather than 40 lashes or a fine.

The throngs of people, gathered in Martyr's Square outside the presidential palace chanted "no tolerance - execution" and "kill her, kill her by firing squad," the BBC reported.
