The news is:

The Sudanese woman, Lubana Hussein, who was arrested in July this year and convicted of indecency charges, has defied a travel ban by coming to France to publicise her new book. Her book titled "Forty lashes for a pair of trousers", has been published in French.

The limerick is:

Lubana, the Sudanese woman

Wore pants, indecency was done.

Law said, legal code failed

And Lubana was jailed.

She sneaked to France, her book is done.
