30 female staff detained: During a four-hour campaign Friday 15 inspectors from
the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in cooperation with 25 policemen raided
several billiard halls after dusk and arrested 30 female employees for violating
labor law which bars women from working in men’s halls after 7:00 pm, reports
Al-Watan daily. The violators have been referred to concerned authorities prior
to their deportation from the country.
What I'd be interested in knowing is a) do these women know that they're working illegally? and b) what's being done about their billiard hall employers? If they're just prostitutes (which is what the new law is trying to prevent), then the question still applies - what happens to the pimps / men paying for their services? ... you can guess the answer to that.
If you dig a bit deeper, you'll probably find that most of the female staff are illegals because they have runaway from abusive employers...
