Sex Trade Burgeons in Iran in the Glare of Mullahs
July 21, 2007 by pulkit
Mullahs wax eloquent about religious and ethical uprightness. They make a brisk beeline for the high moral grounds, as soon as they get a chance. But all their claims to austerity and chastity seem to loose credence, if one even mentions the flourishing sex trade in Iran. The sex trade has witnessed a meteoric rise under the spuriously prudish Mullahs.
The government heavily censors adult content on the internet, vows to come down heavily upon immorality and censors anything that poses an ethical threat to the country. Still, women and girls are traded like they were cattle. The Mullahs are fully aware of the unrestrained trade, which can make even the most prosperous businesses blush in terms of the sheer weight of numbers. There is the evil trio of the Mullah regime, drugs and sex trade, with all the three sharing a powerful nexus.
The Ahmadinejad government might not have discovered many things to export, but prostitutes, most of them forced into the trade, seem to be perfectly exportable for this malignant government.
Police have uncovered a number of prostitution and slavery rings operating from Tehran that have sold girls to France, Britain, Turkey, as well. One network based in Turkey bought smuggled Iranian women and girls, gave them fake passports, and transported them to European and Persian Gulf countries. In one case, a 16-year-old girl was smuggled to Turkey, and then sold to a 58-year-old European national for $20,000. [source]
