Three Chinese "brothels' shut down in Kabul
2005-02-02
Afghan authorities have shut down three Chinese guesthouses in the capital Kabul which were allegedly doubling as brothels, an official said Wednesday. The interior ministry said it had appointed a commission to investigate all foreign guest houses in Afghanistan to see if they are involved in prostitution and selling liquor to Afghans. "We closed three Chinese brothels in the past couple of days for prostitution," Abdul Jabar Sabit, the head of the commission and the ministry's legal advisor, told AFP.
"No more nookie for you, Lon Wang!"
"Six Chinese women did not have passports and claimed they were having their visas renewed. We will check this and expel them from Afghanistan if they do not have the proper documents," he said. "We arrested one who actually did not have an Afghan visa," Sabit said. Interior ministry spokesman Lutfullah Mashal said all restaurants and guest houses must register with the government and those found involved in prostitution and selling liquor would be shut down.
The whole problem with a Chinese 'house of prostitution' is that an hour later you're, um, well ...

Sounds like a shakedown racket by the Interior Ministry. This is a time-tested method for government departments in Third World countries to raise extra revenue to line the pockets of its personnel.

Well, what else would you close them for? Tacky decor?
