Three Chinese "brothels" shut down in Kabul
February 3, 2005
Kabul - Afghan authorities have shut down three Chinese guesthouses in the
capital Kabul which were allegedly doubling as brothels, an official said
Wednesday.
The interior ministry said it had appointed a commission to investigate all
foreign guest houses in Afghanistan to see if they are involved in prostitution
and selling liquor to Afghans.
"We closed three Chinese brothels in the past couple of days for prostitution,"
Abdul Jabar Sabit, the head of the commission and the ministry's legal advisor,
told AFP.
"Six Chinese women did not have passports and claimed they were having their
visas renewed. We will check this and expel them from Afghanistan if they do
not have the proper documents," he said.
"We arrested one who actually did not have an Afghan visa," Sabit said.
Interior ministry spokesman Lutfullah Mashal said all restaurants and guest
houses must register with the government and those found involved in
prostitution and selling liquor would be shut down.
