Fashion Police

Remember the 35 southern Sudanese women we posted about yesterday who were arrested on Sunday (but not charged) for wearing tight pants? Turns out the South Sudan president Salva Kiir is not too pleased with the police crackdown on clothing choices (the police now claim they suspected the women of belonging to youth gangs) and demanded today that all the women be released. Kiir also ordered a "serious investigation" into the police's behavior. [Reuters]
