ISF Arrest Mother of Three on Prostitution Charges

The Internal Security Forces said that a Syrian woman was put under arrest on prostitution charges in the southern suburb of Mreijeh, an ISF statement said on Saturday.

ISF said that the Mreijeh police “obtained information from unknown sources about a woman, Z. B., who was practicing prostitutions while leaving her three children in an “inappropriate place” where they were subject to humiliation and beating.”

“Investigations were kicked off and a police unit arrested the Syrian female on 6/8/2016,” added the statement.

The woman admitted, during interrogations, that she works as a dancer in a restaurant and provides prostitutions services in return for sums of money.

The detainee was transferred to the Counter Human Trafficking and Morals Protection Bureau, while the children were handed to their grandmother based on a judicial order.

On Friday, ISF arrested a Russian woman at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport on charges of running a prostitution and sex trafficking network operating in Lebanon, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

The woman was apprehended by the anti-vice unit of the Internal Security Forces, reports had said.

An ISF statement said the woman had been wanted on an Interpol arrest warrant issued from Cairo.
