A Rwandan woman is facing up to two years in jail for indecent dressing. The 24-year-old lady had attended a concert in a see-through dress leaving little to imagination and after her photo made rounds on social media, she was arrested and taken to court.
According to Radiotv10Rwanda, the woman was denied bail with the prosecution requesting that she be detained for 30 days as the investigation continues.
The Law Determining Offenses and Penalties in Rwanda, Article 143, stipulates that "Any person who performs an indecent act in public, commits an offense. Upon conviction, he/she is liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than six months and not more than two years".
