Poor Sudanese government.
On the one hand the they've got the entire civilized world crying foul and their stupid adherence to a barbaric system and its diktats is highlighted to the world for the iron-age system it is.
On the other hand they've got the Islamic loony-hooligan-terrorists in their own country that will probably lynch them all and arise in insurrection if they don't come down on this teacher like a tonne of bricks.
They probably had no choice but to punish her. If they'd dismissed the charges the country would be in flames now.
As usual the religious loonies influence policy as they always have throughout history; with violence and the threat of violence.
