Sudan women 'lashed for trousers'

Several Sudanese women have been flogged as a punishment for dressing "indecently", according to a local journalist who was arrested with them.

Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, who says she is facing 40 lashes, said she and 12 other women wearing trousers were arrested in a restaurant in the capital, Khartoum.

She told the BBC several of the women had pleaded guilty to the charges and had 10 lashes immediately.

Khartoum, unlike South Sudan, is governed by Sharia law.

Several of those punished were from the mainly Christian and animist south, Ms Hussein said.

Non-Muslims are not supposed to be subject to Islamic law, even in Khartoum and other parts of the mainly Muslim north.

@ hakimi :Thanks for the pict’s hakimi. But I dont quite grab the meaning of your last pict. What do you wanna say with that?
@ sunay : you’re welcome. :D

Pls don't do that….that could cost Islam a bad name…There must be a smart way to advise them not to wear something like this and that…Using something like fine,first warning,second warning…Somehow, you peoples seem to me didn't respect to other female person, which is the SAME GRUOP WITH YOUR MOTHER...what a shame…and this is trully a very old and ancient law conducted…..

Have you ever heard of anybody been lashed in the name of atheism?

I didn't hear about it but the newspapers say that every 1 of 10 deaths in Europe is of alcohol… I don't think it is clever to use that sentence. But anyway such questions are common here in Germany…

here is a children board you know. We are here to attack a religion and not to try to make them better in a good way. I really hope that people will learn discussing one day. It contains myself, too

Of course I know that this is a woman. The men would use such dressing for hiding themselves only or for camouflage. 

Hi again Goaway,
I think the law is for human and not vise versa. Everything is changing why not also the law thats my point. Thank you for your comments.
