'Tight pants' woman jailed for not paying fine

A woman put on trial for wearing clothing deemed indecent by Sudanese authorities was jailed Monday. She faces up to 40 lashes, a month in jail and 500 Sudanese pounds fine ($209 in U.S.)."She refused to pay the fine as a matter of principal." said her attorney Nabil Adib."We intend to file an appeal within the next three days, but we do not know how long it will take the court of appeals to decide on the case, we expect it will happen in the next two to three weeks."I think this is absolutly stupid if you see her clothing it isn't too tight or to sheer!
