The competent authorities in the country arrested 251 suspects working in massage parlours for committing violations, some of which are related to public morals, and others to the conditions and controls specified in their licensing.

In a post on X.com platform on Monday, the Ministry of the Interior said a representative of the Preventive Security Department, in coordination with the competent authorities in each of the ministries of "commerce, industry, municipality, labour and public health", carried out inspection campaigns on massage parlors in the country.

The campaigns resulted in the arrest of 251 suspects in those shops for committing violations, some of which are related to public morals and others by violating the conditions and controls specified in their licensing, and the necessary legal measures were taken against them.
