In Sudan, a court case challenging the Islamic dress code for women has captured international attention. There were public protests this week in support of Lubna Hussein, a former journalist and United Nations employee who was arrested for wearing pants in public. Hussein is being tried for violating Sudan’s indecency laws. If she’s convicted, she faces a punishment of 40 lashes. Hussein was one of several women arrested at a restaurant last month for wearing pants. Most of the other women pled guilty and were whipped at the police station. Hussein decided to challenge the law.
