Woman facing a whooping for wearing pants

Lubna-Ahmed al-Hussein, a journalist with the United Nations Mission in Sudan, is on trial after being arrested July 3 along with 12 other women for wearing trousers at a restaurant in Khartoum.

Sudanese law calls for 40 lashes for anyone “who commits an indecent act which violates public morality or wears indecent clothing.” For women, indecent clothing includes the outfit Hussein wore when she was arrested and again during her first hearing on July 29: a loose-fitting top, headscarf and green slacks.

Ten of the women arrested have already accepted punishment of 10 lashes each, but Hussein and two other women still face charges.

Hussein has appealed her case in the hope of bringing international attention to the plight of Sudanese women. She waived her immunity as a U.N. worker in the case and told AFP her goal is to have the law regulating clothing repealed.

“If I’m sentenced to be whipped, or to anything else, I will appeal. I will see it through to the end, to the constitutional court if necessary,” Hussein said. “And if the constitutional court says the law is constitutional, I’m ready to be whipped not 40 but 40,000 times.”

I can’t believe some countries are still practices lashes as discipline for grown women, on top of that just for wearing pants. I’m pretty sure Sudan has al lot more issue that need attention in court other than this.  I commend her for standing up against the charges, no other Sudanese woman has ever did that publicly. She plans to wear the same outfit to court. (Which is today)
