Lubna Hussein of Sudan has been charged and convicted of wearing pants in public. Originally her sentence was 40 lashes (enough to nearly kill someone), but its since been downgraded to a fine of approx. $200 USD.
Hussein says she won't pay however and is demanding the Sudanese law against women wearing pants should be abolished.
