Zambia: Women Tormentors Arrested in Lusaka

STATE House yesterday refuted reports that it had banned women from wearing mini-skirts and skin tights as part of President Mwanawasa's 'New Deal' and directed police to deal firmly with culprits who stripped innocent women in the Lusaka city centre yesterday. Spokesperson Arthur Yoyo said the President had at no time issued directives to bar women from wearing pairs of trousers, mini-skirts and skin tights. Police arrested more than 20 youths in connection with the rowdy behaviour which left some women stripped naked.
