Mwanamke mwenye umri wa miaka 24 ambaye alikamatwa kwa kuvaa mavazi ya "aibu" anakabiliwa na kifungo cha miaka miwili jela kwa kuvaa “uchafu hadharani” Wendesha mashtaka wameomba azuiwe rumande kwa siku 30

A 24-year-old woman who was arrested in Rwanda for wearing "shameful" clothing faces up to two years in jail for "public indecency", prosecutors said Thursday. Liliane Mugabekazi was arrested on August 7 after she attended a concert by popular French musician Tayc eight days earlier, wearing a sheer dress.
"She attended the concert while wearing clothes that reveal her private parts... clothes that we call shameful," prosecutors said, accusing her of committing a "serious crime". "It is on these serious grounds that we ask the court to remand Mugabekazi for 30 days.
She is suspected to have committed public indecency," the spokesman for the prosecution, Faustin Nkusi, told AFP, adding that the court would announce on Tuesday whether she would receive bail.
News of the arrest sparked outrage among some Rwandans, but government officials including former justice minister Johnston Busingye backed the move.
