The rules of the Sudanese dictator

"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."" By the way, Lubna is a leftist who writes for a leftist Sudanese publication.
