Arrested for Wearing Trousers

A woman named Ms.Hussein was arrested in Sudan for wearing trousers. She was asked to pay a fine of about 200 dollars but refused because she wanted to be a test case for women rights. So she was arrested. Other women were also asked to pay a fine , but they just pleaded guilty and paid the fine. Some of these women were Christian and normally they are not subject to this law. Anyway Ms. Hussein was brave enough to stand up to the police and is an example for us.
