BBC: Police have fired tear gas at supporters of a Sudanese woman charged with wearing "indecent clothing" shortly before her trial was postponed.
The trial in the capital Khartoum was delayed for a month.
Under Khartoum's Sharia law, Lubna Ahmed Hussein could face up to 40 lashes in public if convicted.
Earlier, she told the BBC she was not afraid to be flogged publicly, saying: "Flogging is not pain, flogging is an insult to humans, women and religions."
She says she was wearing trousers when arrested and has resigned from a UN job that would have given her immunity to take on the case.
"If the court's decision is that I be flogged, I want this flogging in public," she told the BBC's Today programme.
She says she has invited 500 people to attend the hearing. >>> | Tuesday, August 04, 2009
