An Egyptian lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh has been sentenced to three years in prison over the comment he made on live TV some months back saying that it is right for women who wear ripped jeans should be raped. The prominent conservative, was also fined 20,000 Egyptian pounds (£839; $1,130).

Nabih al-Wahsh made the statement on a TV panel show in October, during a debate on a draft law on prostitution. In his word;

“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 sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her.”
Nabih al-Wahsh further claimed that women who wore revealing clothing were “inviting men to harass them”, and said “protecting morals is more important than protecting borders”.

The prosecutor leveled charges against Nabih al-Wahsh after a public outcry in Egypt and beyond. The National Council for Women’s Rights condemned the remarks, saying they were a “flagrant call” for rape, in violation of “everything in the Egyptian constitution”.
