'Sudan has arrested a British teacher for insulting faith and religion, the British Foreign Office said Monday.
Gillian Gibbons, 54, is being held by police in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and has not been charged, British officials said.
Numerous media reports say Gibbons was arrested after allowing her class of 7-year-olds to name a teddy bear "Mohammed."
That could be seen as an insult to the Prophet Mohammed, the reports said.
Blasphemy is punishable with 40 lashes under Islamic Sharia law, Britain's Press Association news agency reported.'
