French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn's lawyer has signed the petition titled "Don't Touch My Whore," which demands the right to purchase the services of prostitutes without legal consequences.
Richard Malka is representing disgraced former International Monetary Fund chief Strauss-Kahn and is one amongst the numerous high-profile individuals who have signed the petition, the Washington Times reports.
Signatories of the petition said they have been visiting prostitutes and will continue to do so, and claimed that everyone has the right to freely sell their charms, the report added.
The petition is to protest a U.K. proposal to fine people 2,059 dollars for availing the services of prostitutes, which is to be debated next month.
