Australia accused female passengers on 10 flights at Doha Hamad International Airport in the Qatari capital of undergoing aggressive physical exams. The country has reacted strongly.
A total of 10 female passengers were registered at Doha airport, Australian Foreign Minister Mirage Payne said at a Senate hearing on Wednesday. He described the incident as “disgustingly annoying” and “offensive”.
“We heard about the Doha incident yesterday,” he said.
Originally, the incident of taking female passengers off a Qatar Airways flight to Sydney on October 2 was discussed last Sunday.
According to the victims, they were taken from the plane in an ambulance parked in Tarmak and their bodies were searched.
A spokesman for Australia’s foreign affairs department said a total of 17 women had been affected. Of these, 13 are Australian and the other five are from other countries.
Meanwhile, the Qatari government liaison office said in a statement that a newborn baby was found abandoned in a plastic bag in a garbage can in the airport bathroom on the day of the incident.
In the eyes of the Qatari government, this is a very tragic incident and a crime like a fatal rape. The airport authorities conducted an immediate search operation to find such a heinous criminal.
In a statement, Qatar said the search was based on an immediate decision to prevent hate criminals from fleeing. However, Qatar sincerely apologizes for violating the personal freedom of any traveler.
The Transport Workers Union of New South Wales says it views the Doha incident as a ruthless attack on the human rights of Australian passengers.
The Australian Foreign Minister also said they were deeply concerned about the treatment of female passengers.
Meanwhile, authorities at Dohar Hamad International Airport have asked the parents of the boy in the bathroom to come forward. The girl’s identity is still unknown, they said. However, he is now safely under the care of professional medical and social workers.
