Two Moroccan women, in their 20s, on trial for obscenity - they wore skirts to the market

Two hairdressers of Morocco, one aged 23 and the other 29, have been put on trial for wearing obscene dress to the market. They were wearing skirts!
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 7 July 2015.

They were arrested as they strolled through the open-air market in Inezgane, a suburb of the southern city of Agadir, last month on their way to work and have been charged with gross indecency for wearing skirts.
It seems a market trader noticed what they were wearing and drew attention of other traders to this indecency of wearing flimsy and 'immoral' clothes. Therefore, the security forces intervened, rescued the duo from the angry crowd and took them to a police station to be charged.
The women are being tried under an article in the penal code which says that anyone found guilty of public obscenity can be jailed for between a month and two years. The case has already sparked an outrage across the world, with an internet petition calling the arrest an attack on personal freedom. It has attracted over 25,000 signatures.
There have also been a number of demonstrations in Morocco, including in the commercial capital Casablanca, with protesters saying that women should have the freedom to wear what they want.
