An Egyptian Lawyer, Nabih al-Wahsh has been sentenced to 3 years in jail for saying that women who wear ripped jeans should be raped 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 sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her.

“I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually 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.

Egypt no get chill

If this kind of statement was made in naija by a highly placed individual u and I sabi the koko

Nothing go happen...no matter how badly dressed a lady might be,she doesn't deserve rape

That guy needs a beat from SARS

This one just weak me.

developed country. not here in Nigeria

....

Good

very good!

Yes! yes! yes! yes!

Wish they also do something like this in Nigeria, so that stupid mentality of a girl's dressing can lead to rape or harassment will die.

what happened to freedom of speech? but this charge and bail lawyer must be a serial rapist

He said it in October and within 2 months the trial concluded and he was sentenced. Nigerian judges are a shame to Africa. Kenya's presidential election was held in August and by September, the supreme court had quashed it. These are countries with efficient court systems.

When you allow your mouth/fingers to think instead of your brain, this is what happens.

Animal in human clothing.

Wetin Afonjas de do for street practically

A lawyer still he is not intelligent.

if ladies who wear G string deserve to be raped then I think ladies who are as stupid as the lady in the picture below should be sent to see a psychiatrists ASAP

but how could a lawyer have made such a preposterous statement? na wa...

Good because the man made me have second thought of my Egypt visa.

whaooo...
Nice one, I'm not even so concerned about the sentence, but the pace of getting a conviction.
Nigeria would have been on it for years till parties get tired.

Just passing bye

Being a lawyer is not synonyms to intelligence. So?

But what will they charge him for?
