MODERN WHITE SLAVERY IN ISRAELI: women sales and combatting sex trafficking

A designer clothing store, a comic book store, a tattoo parlor and a ... women for sale store.

This unusual window display shocked shoppers at a busy Tel Aviv mall last week when among the run-of-the-mill shops, they came across a group of young women standing in a storefront.

Kurdish-Iranian poet Sahel has just been released from a thirty-year prison sentence in Iran. Now the one thing keeping him going is the thought of finding his wife, who thinks him dead for over twenty years.

Salumeh Manoto TV

Manoto1 is an international free-to-air Persian-languagegeneral entertainment channel launched in October 2010 that is owned by Marjan TV corporation, which is established by Kayvan and Marjan Abbassi with Rupert Murdoch's Financial support[citation needed], It is based in London and its programs include documentaries, films, series, news and reports.[1][2]
Manoto's viewership rates are difficult to determine; however, anecdotal reports about the channel's ubiquitous popularity suggests that it has gained rapidly in market share to rival more established satellite channels like BBC Persian and VOA Persian TV. According to a BBC report in 2008, these channels may be watched by at least 30 percent of households inside Iran.[3]
Manoto1 is partly funded by corporate sponsorships and has been sponsored in the past by companies that sell consumer products inside Iran, including Samsung and LG, according to Marjan TV's website and Clarus Design's Meddin. Manoto's funding also comes from venture capitalists, according to a 2011 report on human rights and information access in Iran by the Foreign Policy Centre, a UK-based independent think tank. The report did not name the venture capital firms behind the station.[4] However, many Iranian analysts believes that the channel is promoting Iran's ousted monarchy purposefully.
