A man was sentenced to one month in prison followed by deportation after he was apprehended for wearing women’s accessories and makeup in Bahrain.

The expatriate Arab was arrested by a police patrol as he was walking “in a feminine way” in the Bahraini capital Manama and attracted the attention of the servicemen.

He said that he worked in a women’s beauty salon and that his profession demanded that he always looked elegant and wore the latest fashion accessories to set a positive example for his clients.

The public prosecution was not convinced by the arguments and charged him with encouraging debauchery. He was subsequently referred to a court that ruled to keep him in jail for one month.

Illutration

Cross-dressing is banned in Bahrain and in the other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states — Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Foreigners who are apprehended for their “unacceptable looks” in public are often jailed for a short period before they are sent home.

Local conservatives have regularly called for tougher measures against cross-dressers and gays, accusing them of spreading vice, particularly among young people.

Jeremy Meeks, the felon whose mugshot went viral last month after a California police department put it on Facebook, has been offered a modelling contract.
After his prison picture was posted online, it wasn’t long before he was photoshopped into a number of high end ad campaigns.

Some admirers have even gone so far as to photoshop his mug shot into a Calvin Klein ad campaign shot.

TMZ reports that Meeks has been offered a $30,000 contract by Blaze Modelz in Los Angeles. The father-of-one has to get out of prison first though. He’s still being held after being arrested as part of an initiative to curb gun violence in the northern Californian city of Stockton.

 His mother has launched a campaign to have him freed, saying that he has left that part of his life behind him and that he’s being stereotyped due to old tattoos.

Meeks has also landed himself an agent, according to Buzzfeed.
