Ms. Hussein was rounded up in a raid on a cafe in Sudan where up to 10 women were discovered wearing pants. All but two of the women paid fines and were flogged; Ms. Hussein and the other woman decided to take their chances in court. The journalist stepped down from her position with the UN which would have guaranteed her immunity from punishment; at her trial today about 100 women showed up to protest the arrest. The women were systematically beaten and tear gas was fired at them while cameras were held at bay-one of the rumors was that Ms Hussein's attorney was one of the women beaten by police.
