No milk food, no veggies, no gas, no petrol but this is inhumane. How can the peeples live without the massage?

Women earn a living. Do not insult Women. This is an human right violation. Police can prevent crime, instead of indulging in cheap behaviour.

Cabraal can earn some dollars through this. Tourists visit this place. Most of the Spa doing this business. Hunger makes these ladies to do this. Some Spas belong to politicians.

It can be a new tourist attraction. Many tourist visit Bangkok because these are common things. So why not here too

Government Legalise these places. These poor women are trying to support their frail old parents, , Educate their Children and and support their family members. If it is for pleasure only, they need not come all the way. This is the oldest profession in the world.

These are small timers desperately trying to survive during these hard times. Must be the hands behind these arrests of big timers who must be losing their market share. The big timers are sophisticated and "untouchables". If the economic situation worsens the numbers can be expected to grow.

This country is not only reduced to the grade of uneconomical, but will also go in the record of top list in prostitution business.
