Prostitution is not illegal in Lebanon. On what bases were these poor ladies arrested? They should get help, not get arrested!

Fair enough and very well said. But how should we feel if some of these girls were our sisters or daughters?

anonymetexasusa: Very fine line between garden variety prostitution and sex-slave operations. Have the authorities properly authenticated the ages and the sources of these girls?

p.s. The picture shows about "9" girls in just one corner of the room. Are we sure none of these girls were there against her will and were all treated well?

what's weird is that we all know every "super nightclub" is a prostitution center, where they "import" girls from eastern europe and then use them like cattle, but the ISF never cracked down on them.

Actually, the biggest ring of prostitution is what is known as the Lebanese parliament. All decent Lebanese cannot wait for it to be busted.

There you go. The way I see it, the pimps are equally, if not more, guilty and should be sent to jail. If prostitution is a crime, then facilitating a criminal act, here the prostitution itself, is a bigger crime. Cleaning up the shortcomings of the country starts from the bottom.
