Iran's Police Chief rejected the news on the smuggling of Iranian girls to Persian Gulf littoral countries terming them as mere lies.
According to IRNA, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said: "If such a horrible thing had had happened, I couldn't sleep peacefully a single night. If a mature person leaves the country on her own and begins the life of a morally corrupt person abroad, one cannot claim that she has been smuggled."
The Iranian Police Chief asserted that the case is limited to a number of non-Iranian men who after marrying Iranian girls, mostly from poor families, have taken them to other countries, forcing them into prostitution. Last year, smuggling of Iranian girls and their sale in Dubai made headlines around the world. Since then Iranian officials have categorically rejected the news as baseless. |
