Sudanese journalist and U.N. staffer Lubna Hussein, wearing the same trousers that had sparked her arrest, is seen outside the court where she was convicted of violating the public indecency law by wearing trousers outdoors and fined US$ 200, in Khartoum, Sudan Monday, Sept. 7, 2009. Lubna Hussein was among 13 women arrested July 3 in a raid by the public order police after which ten of the women were fined and flogged two days later, but Hussein said Friday she would rather go to jail than pay any fine, out of protest at the nation's strict laws on women's dress.
