'Tight pants' woman jailed for not paying fine
Lubna al-Hussein had faced 40 lashes for wearing pants deemed too tight and a blouse considered too sheer. The threat of lashes was dropped when a court found her guilty but ordered instead that she pay a fine.
"She is now in jail," her attorney Nabil Adib told CNN. "She refused to pay the fine as a matter of principal."
