Militant Students Capture Masseuses to Make a Point
By JANE PERLEZ

“There were about 25 Chinese women, dressed only in underpants and bras,” recalled Ms. Okasha, 24, a muscular high-school badminton champion who had shed her black garb for soft mauves, her face uncovered, during an interview inside the women-only confines of the school. “They scattered, but we managed to grab five.”

......

The vigilantes, including students from an affiliated school for men, shoved the skimpily clad Chinese masseuses into a car, gave them shawls for modesty and hauled them back to the school as hostages, she said.

.....

Mr. Ghazi, dressed in a white turban and flowing white tunic, implied that the massage parlor was a brothel, saying that a massage cost the equivalent of about $20, and “extras” about $10. “If you want massage treatment, men should go to men, and women should go to women,” he said.

.....

Ms. Hassan, her face absent of makeup but her fingernails and toenails varnished with red, said she was proud of her raiders.

.....

“I said to the students before they went off, ‘The Chinese are masters at karate; you don’t know how to make one kick.’ But they were able to manage.”
