In an interview with the Lebanese Daily Star, Babi said, “there should be a distinction between the sex arousing and porn magazines, which are banned from entering Lebanon. Playboy and Perfection are neither immoral, nor pornographic, as some people believe. There are some good and exciting topics which such magazines address.”
She commented, “we do not give license for importing porn magazines and we know for sure that there are some people who illegally import such magazines and sell them secretly.”
Babi concluded the interview by saying “sex magazines permitted in Lebanon cannot be called pornographic in terms of text and pictures if compared to what is aired by satellite TV channels and published on the Internet.”
