SUDAN WOMAN SPARED WHIPPING FOR WEARING TROUSERS

Labels:

A Sudanese woman journalist was on Monday spared a whipping for wearing trousers, but a court instead fined Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein 500 Sudanese pounds (200 dollars), eyewitnesses said.
  • "I won't pay. I'd rather go to prison," Hussein told AFP by telephone, though her lawyers said they would try to persuade her to pay up.
  • The eyewitnesses, speaking as they emerged from the hearing which was barred to the press, said the court had ruled that Hussein should be jailed for a month if she failed to pay the fine.
  • Under Sudanese law, she could have been sentenced to a maximum of 40 lashes for "indecency" after being arrested with 12 other women wearing trousers in a Khartoum restaurant in July.
