More than 35 young women wearing tight trousers were arrested in South Sudan for disturbing the peace, senior police officials said on Tuesday. The arrests in Juba, the capital of semiautonomous South Sudan, were part of a campaign against youth gangs, the authorities said. The women were arrested on Sunday night but were released without charge on Monday. Many Juba residents reacted angrily to the arrests. “We saw about 30 girls in two trucks piled up like animals,” said Nok Duany, a civil servant.
