Video: Sudanese Woman Whipped For Getting Into A Car With A Man

According to women’s rights activists, the law allows police officers to dole out punishments at their own discretion.
The "personal status" laws found in several conservative countries around the world are often vaguely worded, according to Cristina Finch, the managing director of Amnesty International's Women's Human Rights program.

"Public indecency laws can be interpreted widely, " Finch told The News. "But this is not a matter of culture or religion. Women's rights are universal and governments have an obligation under international human rights law to respect, protect, and fulfill those rights. "

Sudan's law drew international attention earlier this month after a Sudanese woman was arrested for refusing to wear a headscarf. Amira Osman Hamed, a 35-year-old engineer and activist, could get up to 40 lashes if she is convicted of the crime, according to Amnesty International.

A judge agreed to postpone Hamed’s trial until Nov. 4 after pressure from international activists.
