Can we Help Gillian Gibbons?

I don’t know if sending letters will do anything but I feel like some kind of support / pressure should be directed at the British Embassy to encourage them to get Gillian Gibbons out of the country and safely back to her own country. The latest news report from CBS news said

“Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear "Muhammad." - (CBS/AP)

Gillian Gibbons was the teacher found guilty of insulting Islamic religion and sentenced to 15 days in jail.

I sent a letter if only to show that this is indeed an international story with people around the world who care what happens to Gillian Gibbons. Is there anything else people can do?
