Middle East News: Australian women sue Qatar over airport strip-searches – Gulf Digital News
SYDNEY: A group of Australian women who were strip-searched and examined at Doha airport are suing authorities in Qatar.
The women were ordered off a flight and checked for whether they had given birth after a baby was found in a bin at Hamad Airport in October last year.
They described their experience as state-sanctioned assault and the incident sparked widespread outrage.
