Sudanese journalist Lubna Hussein, who faced jail to defend the right of women to wear pants, managed to leave the country by using a smart trick. Lubna in fact fled Sudan with her face covered with the niqab that fanatics had sent her as a threat.
Now she is in Paris and has just come back from the International forum for human rights in Oslo where she spoke together with such activists as Garry Kasparov and Lech Wałȩsa. 

The woman, who confessed being frightened during her runaway, published the book "40 lashes for a pair of trousers" in French and shares her time between writing and activism.
