<p>Amira Osman Hamed, a Sudanese activist, while in a government building on 27 August, was asked by the Public Order police to cover her head. She refused, and was arrested. She was charged under Article 152 of the 1991 Criminal Code, which deals with public decency and morals, and faces a fine or up to 40 lashes. Her trial was held on 19 September at the Jebel Awlia court, and we understand has now been adjourned until 4 November.</p><p>Officials from the British embassy, along with other diplomatic missions, have met with two lawyers from her legal team. At this stage the legal team have requested only that we follow the case and a representative of the embassy attended the hearing on 19 September. We will continue to follow the case closely and stay in contact with the legal team.</p>
