CAIRO: An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced a lawyer who said woman wearing ripped jeans should be raped to three years in prison, a judicial source said. The sentence against Nabih al-Wahsh was passed in absentia as the lawyer, previously released on bail, did not attend the hearing on Saturday. Wahsh´s comments during a television programme had provoked outrage and complaints to the state prosecutor, who decided to put him on trial. Wahsh had said it was a ?national duty? to rape women wearing tight, ripped jeans.
