…In the course of nearly two decades, the streets have been turned into a war zone, where young women who disobey the rules are hurled into patrol cars, taken to jail, flogged, fined, forced to wash the toilets and humiliated, and as soon as they leave, they go back and do the same thing.  Is she aware, Sanz, of her own power? Does she realize how dangerous she can be when her every stray gesture is a disturbance to public safety?
