Gillian Gibbons, the British teacher who received a sentence for 15 days in jail in Sudan for allowing her pupils to name a teddy bear Mohammad, arrived on Tuesday in Britain, at her son’s house in Liverpool.

She landed at Heathrow airport at 7 a.m. and was welcomed by her son, John and her daughter, Jessica, ABC News informs.

After she landed she said: "I went out there to have a bit of an adventure and got more of an adventure than I bargained for. It has been an ordeal but I was well treated in prison and everyone was very kind to me. I'm looking forward to seeing my family and friends and to have a good rest."

She spoke of the eight days spent in the prison in Sudan as an ordeal. In spite of that she expressed her sorrow for leaving Sudan: “"I am very sorry to leave Sudan. I had a fabulous time."

She added: “I was very upset to think that I might have caused offense to anyone, very, very upset."

Gibbons received a call from Gordon Brown as she arrived in Britain to welcome her home.  

She was released yesterday after peers Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi obtained a pardon from President Omar al-Bashir.

Gibbons wished to thank the two British Muslim peers: “I would like to thank Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi and I would like to thank all the people who have worked so hard to secure my release and make my time more bearable."

She took a night flight from Sudan, flying via Dubai to London. Much of the journey she spent it sleeping.

On the Heathrow airport, Lord Ahmed talked about the difficulty of negotiations saying: "There was clearly division in the regime. There were some who wanted a retrial and editorials in newspapers saying 'shoot this woman'. Others say this is an embarrassment."

After she was sentenced to 15 days of jail, Gibbons was kept in a secret location due to the protesters who took the streets of Khartoum asking for her death.

Gibbons also made a statement to the president in which she said that she didn’t want to offend anybody.
