The Dhaka Times Desk The number of festivals in the world cannot be counted. Today there is a terrible 'festival' story! Public rape of girls or 'festival'! What brutality is possible in this modern age?
It is one of the most primitive barbaric practices still practiced in the world. This tradition in the Middle East is held as a 'festival' or 'game'! The main goal of this game is public rape of women!
This game named 'Taharrush' is popular mainly in missions. Again, the horrible customs that are prevalent in some countries in the Middle East. According to reliable sources, there are currently at least a thousand women in the region who were raped during the 'Taharrush'. 'Nigraha' refers to publicly physically assaulting women, stripping them, and even killing them if given the opportunity. This eclipse always happens in a crowd. The number of adopters is innumerable. To identify all the abusers for whatever reason, to ensure that they are punished in some way.
This hellish festival has been going on in Egypt for almost a century. This Taharrush Jama-e is organized during the celebration of Ramadan.
It is known that during this game the players present (who are all men) form three human circles one inside the other i.e. concentric. One or more female passers-by are brought to the center of the three circles. The men standing in the first circle aim to reach the women in the very center. Not only that, but to enjoy them physically.
The men in the second circle try to replace the players in the first circle. Due to which strong pushing is created. On the other hand, the players in the third circle have to hide all the happenings inside from the eyes of the passers-by. Meanwhile, some players pretend to protect the affected women. Actually they also aim to enjoy the affected girl. It is needless to say that it is not possible for those few 'protectors' to handle that heated population.
News of this barbaric game remained confined to Egypt and the Middle East for many years. The matter first came to light to the wider world when Lara Logan, a reporter for the American news agency CBS, was recruited into Russia. Lara went there to report on the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. In Egypt's Tahrir Square, journalist Lara was surrounded by maddened mobs. He was tortured for about half an hour. A few months later, in an interview, he himself told about this insult.
Around January 2016, incidents like Taharrush can be observed in several European countries including Germany. It is known that at that time, thousands of European women were publicly assaulted by the mad people. The administration of those countries said that refugees from the Middle East had committed this crime. In other words, the authority's statement is that Russian culture arrived in Europe with the help of refugees. Basically, while searching for the source of this terrible game at that time, detailed information about it came up.
Even in this 21st century, a barbaric festival like Taharrush is being celebrated every year indiscriminately, it is really a shame for humanity. On the one hand, the current human society is raising the issue of protecting the honor of women, on the other hand, the loss of the honor of that woman is being given the shape of a festival! Such inhumanity, brutality can never be accepted. Stop this barbaric horror game. Such barbaric activities are not acceptable in a civilized society.
