    Israeli police arrest women for wearing male-style prayer shawls

    http://www.jpost.com/VideoArticles/Video/Article.aspx?id=302844
    Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby confirmed that the women were detained for wearing tallitot, especially what police refer to as "male style" tallitot. Police allow women to wear the colorful tallitot around the shoulders which police refer to as "female tallitot" as opposed to the "male tallitot" which are blue and white or black and white and worn folded across he shoulders. “The moment they put on the other [male] tallit, it’s problematic," Ben-Ruby said

    It appears that the women are being detained for questioning.
