Rebel army funds itself by making porn films

This is weird. The BBC reports:
"Rebels in India's north-eastern state of Tripura are making pornographic films to raise money for their separatist campaign, officials say. They say the rebels are forcing captured tribal women, and some men, to take part in the films. The films are then dubbed to be sold in India and neighbouring countries. "We do get orders to process raw porn shot in remote tribal areas from time to time," the owner of a video production company in the state's capital Agartala told the BBC. "We know the insurgents are behind these films. When we process their raw stock, we can see boys standing around with automatic rifles and revolvers pulling in girls but we are supposed to cut all that out and just concentrate on the sex. It is very good money and we don't think it is right to question the insurgents anyway." Surrendered NLFT rebels say their leaders have always abused tribal women, both in the villages and also those recruited into the rebel army. But while forcing tribal women to have sex with them at gunpoint or carrying them away to the rebel camps is not new, using them to produce pornography certainly is.
