TEHRAN, Jun. 9 (MNA) Rich Saudi Arabian men some of whom closely associated with the Saudi royal family have been purchasing Syrian girls and young women for sexual pleasure.Most of the Saudis suspected of such atrocities are in their 60s and 70s, and after they became tired of the girls, they handed down to other Saudi men, or girls somehow just disappear, witnesses say.
They come into Lebanon and Jordan and go to the Syrian refugee camps where the Syrian families there have nothing, one Lebanese source said. Saudis then offer $200 for girls aged nine to 14 and take them from their families. Because the families are so desperate for money, they give in to the temptation,WNDnews reported.
Given the influence the United States has over Saudi Arabia, why hasnt your president confronted the Saudis about this? one Syrian asked. The U.S. is on record as opposing human trafficking.
Yet, there has been no confrontation by the U.S. toward Saudi or Jordanian authorities on their practice of taking advantage of the most vulnerable the Syrian refugee girls and young women.
