Lubna Hussein faces up to 40 lashes for wearing pants in public.
On Wednesday, the court gave Hussein the option of accepting immunity as a U.N. worker or waiving it and standing trial. Hussein works for the media department of the U.N. and is also a journalist for the left-leaning Al Sahafa newspaper. The soapbox at her disposal has not been lost on her: In response to the court’s offer, Hussein waived her immunity, saying, “I wish to resign from the U.N. I wish this court case to continue.”
Later she added, “I wish to change this law.”
We can help her by watching closely and talking about her case in public. The more attention her case gets, the better. Please share her story.
