    I’m assuming they’re arresting the sex workers and not the politicians and military officials?

      Hopefully neither, and they’ll arrest the organizers/pimps/etc.

      sex workers and clients should be the lowest priority.

        You know what they say about hoping, you can hope in one hand and bang an escort in the other hand and see which hand fills up quicker.

      3 individuals sounds like just the pimps.

      They’d probably have to confirm identities to arrest those folks, and also prove they aren’t just getting name-dropped.

      Just grabbing the pimps and workers is a lot easier and less case intense
