A Fine but No Lash for Sudan Woman Who Wore Pants

NAIROBI, Kenya — A Sudanese court on Monday decided not to lash a woman for wearing trousers in public but convicted her of violating the country’s decency laws and fined her the equivalent of $200.

The woman, Lubna Hussein, an outspoken journalist who recently worked for the United Nations, was facing 40 lashes in a case that generated widespread interest inside and outside Sudan.

Sudan is partly governed by Islamic law

It appears the Sudanese authorities, or part of them at least, can be influenced by the moral suasion of outsiders. This is the type of interference that the west should be practicing in other countries where women's rights still don't exist. This would certainly be better than arming or aiding their governments.
