A North African lawyer who recommended ladies wearing ripped jeans for s*xual abuse will be spending some valuable time behind bars over his controversial statement.
Nabih al-Wahsh
An Egyptian Lawyer, Nabih al-Wahsh has been sentenced to 3 years in jail for saying that women who wear ripped jeans should be r*ped in punishment.
According to BBC , the lawyer made the statement on a TV Panel show in October during a debate on a draft law of prostitution.
He said:
"Are you happy when you see a girl walking down the street with half of her behind showing? I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to s*xually harass her and a national duty to r*pe her."
“I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to s*xually harass them,” he said. He added that “protecting morals is more important than protecting borders.”
The National Council for Women’s Rights said they were a “flagrant call” for rape and violated “everything in the Egyptian constitution.”
The council has also filed a complaint with the Supreme Council for Media Regulation about the Oct. 19 broadcast.
According to The BBC, Wahsh is known to incite outrage he previously called the Holocaust “imaginary” and is a self-described proud anti-Semite.
“If I see any Israeli, I will kill him,” he said during a separate TV appearance.
