Offbeat: Sudanese lady fined (not beaten) for wearing apple-bottom jeans
- They were too tight for the authorities. A Sudanese journalist, Lubna al-Hussein, walked away with approximately 40 fewer lashes than she could’ve gotten after wearing clothing too indecent for their tastes. She was fined instead, but because she chose not to pay the fine, she’ll be spending a month in jail. A fair price to pay for wearing tight pants, if you ask us. source
