Woman in legal limbo over refusal to cover hair

Another example of just how far apart Western civilization and the Islamic world are.  Read this and think about whether you would want your family to live under such a backward and barbaric regime because that is just what the Muslim street wishes to impose on the West.

Khartoum: A Sudanese woman accused of “indecent” attire because she refused to cover her hair remains in legal limbo after a court appearance on Monday.

Amira Osman Hamid faces a possible whipping if convicted of violating Sudan’s laws governing morality, which took effect after the 1989 Islamist-backed coup by President Omar Al Bashir.

The defence asked in September that the charge be withdrawn but the prosecution is still weighing how to proceed, Amira and one of her lawyers said after Monday’s hearing in Jebel Aulia, just outside Khartoum.

The court is waiting for the prosecutor to either send the file back to court for additional hearings, or to quash the case, Amira said.

No new date has been set for a further hearing, but one of her lawyers, Kamal Omar, said that “this does not mean the case is finished”.

Amira said she thought that her case would not be quashed immediately.

“I think they will keep it [active] for a while,” she said. “If they want to use it any time they will. I’m not free.”
