Thirteen boys arrested over harassment of female tourists at Giza Pyramids

 

Egyptian security forces have arrested 13 boys after the harassment of two female tourists at the Giza Pyramids over the Eid holiday, the Ministry of Interior said.

A 34-second-long video clip showing a large group of teenagers following and trying to take pictures of the women at the pyramids had been circulated on social media.

The incident has renewed debate in Egypt over what should be done to protect tourists and in particular women from harassment at archaeological sites.

The boys, aged between 13 and 15 years old, said they tried talking and taking pictures with the women without the intention of harassment, according to the interior ministry statement on Saturday.
