A Saudi woman was arrested this week after a video went viral that showed her walking around the country in an illegal outfit. The woman, identified by the BBC as a model named Khulood, was arrested for being out in public in the short skirt and crop top she was wearing in the video, the Saudi Arabian state news agency Al Ekhbariya announced Tuesday. Saudi Arabia imposes strict modesty laws on all women, requiring them to be covered while in public. That country’s austere laws about women are likely why an otherwise innocuous video went viral. Her skirt is above the knee and her top bares her midriff.
