Mundassin in Arab countries

"The conflict, charges, and counter-charges continue to this day. All the while more than 7 new Schools for training and graduating mundaseen were erected in various parts of the Arab world. Each mundass gets trained in local settings where they undergo rigorous procedures that equip them to do their job. Clearly, the price of one mundass, even if they do not perfect the host country’s dialect, let alone skin color(s) and religious affiliation, has reached $1200 per week (اللغلوغ الواحد باربعطعشر جينيه). At least one third of the mundasseen graduates complained about late payment, non-payment, and even abuse by protesters. Given that Arab regimes consider most of the protesters mundasseen, and considering that protesters across the Arab world reached several million (after Egypt), it is estimated that the natural rights of at least 3.7 million of the mundasseen were compromised or outright violated. In response, Human Rice Watch launched a campaign to defend and restore their rights."
