Teheran – Iran: Ali Reza Moini, sosiaalisen ongelmien asiantuntija ilmoitti Teheranissa olevan ainakin 8000 prostituutiojengiä. Moinin mukaan viime 7 vuoden aikana Iranissa prostituution keski-ikä on laskenut 28 vuotiasta alle 20 vuoteen. ”Tällä hetkellä Iranissa prostituution alin ikä on 13 vuotta. Joten nuorten keskellä se kasvaa räjäytysmäisesti.” sanoi Moini.
Iranissa on tällä hetkellä 300 – 600 tuhatta prostituutionaista. Totesi Moini. Hänen mukaan Iranin lukioissa prostituutio on hyvin yleistynyt.

Drugs and prostitution 'soar' in Iran
A new report has, for the first time, acknowledged that prostitution and drug-taking are widespread among young Iranians.
The report says there are up to two-million drug addicts, some of them schoolchildren, with an estimated five tonnes of narcotics consumed every day in the capital, Tehran.
Prostitution is also said to be sharply increasing, along with divorce rates and suicides.
The report comes from Mohammad Ali Zam, the head of Tehran's cultural and artistic affairs, who is seen as an influential figure.
His report found a dramatic rise in the problems between 1998 and 1999.
"Drug addiction is the rage among schoolchildren, prostitution has increased 635% among high school students and the (growth) rate of suicide in the country has exceeded the record by 109%," says the report.
Mr Zam says the average age of prostitutes has dropped from 27 to 20 years over the past few years, with a growing but unspecified number of women involved.
Nearly all the young girls who run away from home end up as prostitutes, he said.
The report also finds that many young Iranians are neglecting their religious obligations.
"Seventy-five per cent of the country's 60m inhabitants and 86% of young students do not say their daily prayers," says the report.
The BBC's Reza Azam says the report - published in a newspaper - will have made shattering reading for many people in Iran
Rosy picture
Officials have generally painted a rosy picture of life since the Revolution in 1979, which placed great emphasis on personal morality as well as responsibility.
But the fact that such a grim picture has been published at all, is being seen as another sign of the rapid changes in Iran.
University professor Hassan Bolkhari, a cultural adviser to the education ministry, said speaking openly about such problems was a step towards combatting them.
Poor living conditions have sparked riots by Iranian women
"So far, the establishment's approach was idealistic," he said.
"Fortunately, now we see there is a greater degree of realism. This report is just a true reflection of bitter realities in our society," he said.
Easy availability
The authorities in Iran have been unable to stem the flow of drugs across the border from Afghanistan, despite a desperate battle.
But Mr Zam's report says that easy availability of opium is only part of the problem. He says the young are turning to drugs because of a lack of any other alternative entertainment.
Poverty is also cited as a cause of some of the problems. Mr Zam says 12m people live below the poverty line, and huge numbers are flocking to cities from villages. The country has one of the world's youngest populations, with 35m people under the age of 20. Uunemployment is rising as President Mohammed Khatami struggles to liberalise the economy.
Report's findings
2m drug addicts
5 tonnes of opium used daily in Tehran
Drugs in schools and recreation centres
Average age of prostitutes falls to 20
90% of schoolgirl runways lured into prostitution
Suicide growth rate doubles
12m people living in poverty
Ilotalossa käynti toi vuosien pelikiellon Iranissa
Iranilainen jalkapalloilija Mojahed Khazirabi joutuu vuosiksi sivuun lempilajistaan. Khazirabi ei saa pelata seurajoukkueessaan Esteqlalissa kolmeen vuoteen eikä maajoukkueessa viiteen vuoteen, koska kävi viime kesäkuussa ilotalossa pääkaupungin Teheranin keskustassa.
Tuomion langetti teheranilainen oikeusistuin, joka rankaisi 22-vuotiasta pelaajaa myös 99 raipaniskulla. Pääkaupungissa toimiva Esteqlal-seura vetosi pelaajansa puolesta, mutta vetoomustuomioistuin piti päätöksen voimassa.
Prostituutio on jyrkästi kielletty islamin uskoa noudattavassa Iranissa. Ankarat sakko- tai vankeusrangaistukset koskevat niin seksipalvelujen tuottajia kuin niiden käyttäjiäkin. Khazirabin vierailun kohteena olleen ilotalon naisomistaja sai kymmenen vuoden vankeustuomion, raipaniskuja sekä noin 55 700 euron sakot.
Näihin tietoihin pohjautuen on todella järkyttävää, että nainen kivitetään uskottomuuden takia. Iranilainen yhteiskunta on todella kaksinaismoralistinen.

raiskataan ja tapetaan. Taas todiste naisten surkeasta asemasta islamilaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Naisilla on erittäin köyhää ja valtio ei auta taloudellisessa ahdingossa olevia tyttöjä ja naisia mitenkään, heille ei ole apua mistään. Heitä tapetaan. Jopa omia tyttäriä myydään. Tällainen on mahdollista vain jos naisten asema on surkea, islam ei nähtävästi auta naisen asemaa mitenkään. Köyhyys yhdistettynä ankariin lakeihin, tuottaa tällaista kauheutta. Köyhyyden takia ihmisiä tapetaan, kun he epätoivoissaan yrittävät saada elantonsa, se on heidän rikos.

The prostitution of children also has surfaced as a matter of concern. In January 2000, Iranian authorities closed down six brothels in Tehran and arrested 35 people, including some minors. Every day, an average of 45 Iranian girls run away from home to escape poverty, abuse, and social imprisonment.[6] Though some are picked up by the police and brought to welfare organizations, many falls into the hands of organized prostitution rings or drift into crime and the sex trade; some simply disappear. Police in Tehran reportedly round up 90 runaway children every day, and as of September 2001, 900 girls and 700 boys were reported to have fled their homes in Tehran. Often times, the young runaways are raped or even killed by criminal groups in Tehran. According to some recent reports, one young woman in Tehran is raped and murdered every 6 days, as criminals increasingly take advantage of runaways.....
For many years, Iran has been punishing women accused of prostitution. For example, police sources recently indicated that passports are no longer to be issued to Iranian women expelled from Persian Gulf sheikdoms for prostitution.[12] Under Islamic law –that is, the Shari'a– Iran's punishment for prostitution has been severe. On 3 July 1980, two women accused of prostitution were buried up to their necks and then stoned to death. In a similar case in 1997, three women were stoned to death in public after a court found them guilty of adultery and prostitution under Iran's Islamic law.[13]
Iran also has prosecuted organizers of prostitution rings. In 1996, a woman and her husband were charged with organizing corrupt gatherings involving prostitution. They were executed a year later. In a 1995 case, police dismantled 30 prostitution rings in western Iran and arrested dozens of people, including a doctor and several teachers and government employees.[14] Allegedly, the ring seduced young women and girls, photographed them nude, and then trafficked them out of the country to be sold to Arab sheiks.[15] Several young women committed suicide because, it is believed, of the way they were treated by the network members.[16] Similarly, Iranian authorities broke up a network that smuggled runaway girls into Persian Gulf states. The ringleader in that case confessed to selling her own daughter into slavery. Police discovered the ring after they came across a "house of corruption" in Tehran where young women were being sexually abused.[17] This group 13-year-old girls into the sex trade with promises of money and then transported them to customers in the Persian Gulf states. Ninety percent of the girls' parents were addicted to illegal drugs or divorced.[18]
