A group of Sudanese women diners face up to 40 lashes - for wearing trousers.

The women have been accused of dressing 'indecently' while dining at a popular restaurant in Khartoum, the capital.

Up to 30 police stormed the building without warning and arrested those wearing trousers, 13 women in all.

Some have pleaded guilty - so they could ‘get it over with - and received 10 lashes.

Others though have not admitted their 'guilt' and could subsequently receive 40 lashes if tried and convicted by a court.

One of them, journalist Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, told how the group of policemen stormed into the building without warning and arrested all the women wearing trousers.

'I was wearing trousers and a blouse and the ten girls who were lashed were wearing like me, there was no difference,' Ms Hussein told the BBC's Arabic service.

Ms Hussein is a well-known reporter who writes a weekly column called Men Talk for Sudanese papers. She also works for the United Nations Mission in Sudan.

The country is split in two – Muslim in Khartoum and the north and Christian in the south.

Several of those punished were from the south, although non-Muslims are not supposed to be subject to Sharia law, even in Islamic areas.

It was in Khartoum that British primary school teacher Gillian Gibbons, 55, spent a week in jail in 2007 after her class named a teddy bear Mohammed.

She faced 40 lashes for insulting Islam but was freed after the intervention of two British peers.


Sudan was ravaged by a two-decade civil war that killed 1.5 million of its 39 million people, only to plunge straight afterwards into the horror of the bloodshed in the western region of Darfur.

Two million people have fled their homes and more than 200,000 have been killed.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague this year issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

It is not the only country to enforce laws on dress.

In Iran, the religious police frequently launch crackdowns on indecency, rounding up hundreds of women for wearing ‘bad hijab.’

And a boutique owner was recently ordered to saw the breasts off the mannequins in his shop because they were ruled ‘indecent.’

In a dramatic example of Sharia law in Somalia, a 13-year-old girl was stoned to death last year for adultery after Islamist militants took control of the city of Kismayo.

In fact, Asha Ibrahim Dhuhulow had been raped by three armed men, but was arrested when her aunt took her to a police station to report the crime.
