On 30 November, approximately 10,000 protesters took to the streets in Khartoum,[15] some of them waving swords and machetes, demanding Gibbons's execution after imams denounced her during Friday prayers. During the march, chants of "Shame, shame on the UK", "No tolerance – execution" and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad" were heard. Witnesses reported that government employees were involved in inciting the protests.[16] Gibbons was then moved to a secret location because of fears for her safety.[3]
