NO LIE! A WOMAN WAS CONVICTED AT A TRIAL FOR WEARING PANTS; (CLOTHING IS DEEMED INDECENT BY SUDANESE AUTHORITIES. THE WOMAN WAS RELEASED FROM JAIL TODAY AFTER BEING IMPRISONED FOR A DAY. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS! THERE ARE MANY OF US WHO WEAR JEANS ON A DAILY BASIS. SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE IN CULTURAL BELIEFS. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE AL-HUSSEIN; (PIC ABOVE) WILL BECOME A GREAT INFLUENCE IN WOMEN'S RIGHTS OF THE SUDAN TERRITORY. AL-HUSSEIN REFUSED TO PAY THE FEE THE JUDGE WAS ASKING HER TO PAY FOR HER "INDECENCY". WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE 70'S AND 80'S TO SEE WOMEN FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS. IT MAY BE 2009 BUT IT'S AN ONGOING CASE IN EVERY PLACE IN THE WORLD.
