Gillian Gibbons, from Liverpool, has spent three nights in custody after being arrested for possible blasphemy - and faces 40 lashes, a fine or a year in prison if convicted.
A pupil at the school has leapt to her defence, saying he'd recommended the toy should be called Mohammed because that was his own name.
