Parisian prostitutes wearing masks as so not to be identified,
demonstrate in front of France's Senate, November 5, 2002 where
senators are discussing Interior Minister Nicholas Sarkozy's new bill
on security. If adopted, prostitutes could face prison terms. The move
is an attempt to close a loophole in French law under which
prostitution is legal, obliging them to pay income tax, but the act of
soliciting is illegal. Sign reads "How Much?: 3750 Euros ($3500) and
six months in prison". REUTERS/Mal Langsdon
