Women’s sewing centre or massage-shisha joint?

Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police raided a women’s sewing centre in the conservative Gulf Kingdom after receiving information it is involved in illegal activity.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice stormed the workshop in the capital Riyadh and arrested some women after they found a large quantity of shisha, an illegal massage centre and a secret entrance for men.

“The workshop was found that it serves shisha until late night while there was a room for male workers…the place was also guarded by dogs,” Alsaudeh daily said in its report, which included a brief film on the raid.
