The British teacher jailed in Sudan for insulting Islam by allowing her class to name a teddy bear Mohammed is in good spirits and not too distressed, her son has said.
John Gibbons was able to chat to his mother Gillian for a "reasonable length of time".
"She said she doesn't want anyone using her as something to stoke up resentment between anyone - be they Sudanese or Muslim," he reported.
"That's not the kind of person she is."
Ms Gibbons' son added that he hoped to have his mother home as soon as possible - and thanked the efforts being made by the Foreign Office.
