...information. Those practices, deliberately violating Muslim taboos, have less to do with sex than with religion. Religious humiliation and degradation are prohibited by international law and dishonor our country.

I talked in terms of the number of businesses that the office of the Prosecutor General has scrutinized over the last 12 years and has found irregularities.
