It's nice to see that Sudanese police are working hard to keep their citizenry safe from violent criminals and civil unrest.
In the capital city of Khartoum, "20 or 30 police officers" entered a popular restaurant and arrested at least 13 women who were dressed indecently, one of the women being a BBC reporter, Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein.

So what was the clothing that so offended these Islamic police officers? String bikinis? G-strings? See-through blouses?
No. Pants.
According to al-Hussein, the women are facing up to 40 lashes for this grave offense of wearing clothing that covers their entire legs. Several women pled guilty at once and received a lighter penalty of only 10 lashes, but others, including al-Hussein, have spoken to lawyers and are awaiting their fates.
