| 70 whorehouses closed in holy city... |
| 2002-10-03 |
| Police have closed down 70 brothels in the past seven months in the Shiite Muslim holy city of Mashhad in northeast Iran, a police chief said in Jomhuri-e-Islami newspaper on Thursday. Damn! We oughta get some whorehouses around here. Then we could be holy, too... The police commander for Khorasan province said the Mashhad raids were carried out since March and that the influx of prostitutes from central Asia to Iran's holiest city had shot up in recent years. "Nope. Nope. Not local girls. Why, our city's so holy, our women don't even have genitalia. Lift up the ol' burka — nuttin'. Looks like a nekkid Barbie doll..." Tehran police, meanwhile, have arrested 30 members of a prostitution ring operating out of a hotel in an upmarket northern district, Jam-e-Jam newspaper reported. After a police surveillance operation, 30 young men and women, including three suspected pimps were detained. The paper said the female pimps were accused of luring young victims via Internet chat sites, promising girls rich husbands or trips to European countries. "Yep. Pretty hard to find wimmin with genitals around these here parts. Have to kinda lure 'em in, y'know. Thought we had a good 'un, coupla weeks back — blonde, blue eyes, that sort o' thing — but then we whooped up the ol' burka and it was the same ol' Barbie doll story. Hadda throw her back. She's workin' in a factory now, makin' Zamzam Cola fer four cents a week..." The hotel manager has been summoned for questioning, while a member of his staff has already been handed a three-year jail term. [Knock knock!] "You gotta woman in there?" "No!" "Why not?" |
