The authorities in Kazakhstan have detained several women
protesting against a ban on lace underwear, it's been reported. One of the
seven women held at the demonstration in Almaty, was waving what she said was
the last pair of lace knickers she had left, Vlast.kz website reports.
Another demonstrator told Russia's independent Rain TV that local
residents have been receiving messages on their phones urging them to stay at
home. Production, import and sale of lace underwear will stop in July 2014 in
Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus under a Moscow-led Customs Union. Officials say
lace does not absorb enough moisture. The regulation was approved back in 2011,
but has not been enforced until now. The ban on lace underwear is set to take
effect in July 2014.
