Two British Muslim politicians trying to win the early release of a British woman jailed in Sudan for allowing her class to name a teddy bear Mohammad will meet Sudan's president tomorrow, presidential sources said.

"The President will meet the British parliamentarians tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. (8.30 a.m. CET) in the Republican Palace," presidential sources told Reuters on today.
