Woman on trial for wearing trousers in Sudan
Dozens of Sudanese women were protesting outside a court in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, today ahead of the trial of a female journalist for wearing trousers in public – a violation of the African country’s strict Islamic laws.
Some of the protesters wore trousers in solidarity with Lubna Hussein, who faces 40 lashes on the charge of “indecent dressing”.
