A Sharia police checks an Acehnese woman wearing a government issued long loose skirt over her pants during a general crackdown on women wearing tight pants in West Aceh district, in Aceh province, located in western Indonesia on May 27, 2010. Local authorities prepared 20,000 loose skirts during a campaign against women wearing figure-hugging clothing such as tight trousers, as part of the district’s Islamic by-laws that have outraged less conservative parts of the mainly Muslim archipelago.
