Women arrested in Jerusalem for not dressing right

[Cameron]

Anat Hoffman, who was among those detained, said the women were stopped because they were wearing religious garb that Orthodox Judaism reserves for men only. The incident occurred at the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites. . .

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the women were detained because they acted against court-ordered regulations that bar women from wearing prayer shawls at the Western Wall so as not to offend Orthodox Jewish worshippers. Rosenfeld said the women were released after several hours.

At least they were not physically attacked like these women:

A woman was tear-gassed for walking on the "men only" sidewalks.

A woman was stoned for wearing "immodest" clothing.
