Taslima Nasreen and Gillian Gibbons

The government of India has moved Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen to an unknown safe place in New Delhi to protect her from the Muslim protesters who wanted her to execute for her writings apparently with blasphemous language. Recently, she had made Indian city Calcutta her adopted home after she fled Bangladesh in 1995 to live in Sweden and France. Muslim protesters demanded the death sentence on the writer following her most controversial book, "Lajja" (Shame). In September 2005, the Indian government gave her a one-year visa and permission to stay in Calcutta. Since then she had been living in the city after getting her visa extended.

In Khartoum, capital city of Sudan, protesters demanded the execution of the British teacher arrested for allowing the third-grader in her class to name a teddy bear Muhammed. Protesters wielding clubs and knives rallied at the presidential palace in Khartoum demanding the execution of the British teacher Gillian Gibbons. The Sudanese Government arrested her on Sunday, November 25, 2007 and sentenced her 15-day imprisonment. British authorities were furious with the Sudanese Government at sentencing her for such a minor mistake.
