Lawyer creates outrage after rape comment
An Egyptian lawyer who made a case for rape and harassment on satellite TV was caught on Euronews’ radar yesterday. A creature who goes by the name of Nabih Al Wahsh told hosts on Al Asema channel earlier in October that it was a “national” and “patriotic” duty to harass and rape women who dress revealingly. The National Council for Women is reportedly pursuing legal action against Al Wahsh and the channel that hosted him.
