Sudanese Woman Faces 40 Lashes for Wearing Trousers

A defiant Lubna Hussein surrounded by her supporters in Khartoum. The Sudanese women are protesting Hussein's sentence of 40 lashes for the crime of wearing trousers in public. She and 12 others were arrested in a restaurant for committing an indecent act. The former journalist and U.N. worker is now campaigning against what she calls a return to the dark ages. [Lubna Hussein, Former U.N. Worker]: "I am not looking to be found innocent. My main aim is to challenge the laws, all the laws that restrict freedoms and humiliate women." The case, not uncommon in Sudan, has attracted widespread attention. It's been adjourned for a month.
