An aide to Afghan President Hamid Karzai denounced two women for appearing "half naked" last week in a beauty contest and fashion show. Mohaiuddin Baloch - a religious adviser to Karzai - said the actions of the two women are illegal under Islamic law.

Sutara Bahramia appeared in a bikini at the Miss Earth beauty pageant in Manila. Vida Samadzai wore a bra and loose skirt at a fashion show in India.

Both of the women have lived outside Afghanistan for many years - though they have both represented Afghanistan in pageants.

"I heard that they have come out half naked in public. Curse be to those who appear this way in front of the public," said Baloch.

Last week Baloch was in the news for jailing the editor of an Afghan women's magazine.
