Mrs Gibbons said she would work at a Muslim school in the future
A Liverpool teacher who was jailed in Sudan for calling a teddy bear Mohammed, is preparing to start a new job at a school in China.
Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Aigburth, Liverpool, was spared flogging but was sentenced to 15 days in custody after being convicted of insulting Islam.
She was pardoned after eight days by President Omar al-Bashir last December.
Mrs Gibbons will take up the post, at an English speaking school near Beijing, next week.
Mrs Gibbons also said she had not ruled out working in a Muslim country again at some point.
The divorced mother of two was freed after two British Muslim peers flew to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, to champion her cause.
Her treatment caused international outrage, with British Muslim groups describing her treatment as excessive.
