Sudanese police briefly detained more than 20 models, make-up artists and designers after a rare mixed-sex fashion show in Khartoum, participants said Saturday.
Amateur models taking part in the "Sudanese Next Top Model Fashion Show" told Reuters they were rounded up late Thursday by Sudan's public order police, a body known for its crackdowns on indecent dress and drinking in the Muslim north.
Police were not available to comment on Thursday's arrests outside a club in the capital's Khartoum 2 district.
All of the detainees were released Friday but at least six were told to report to the police Sunday to face unspecified charges, said one participant to Reuters.
