The Australian government has sought Qatar Airways’ response after "grossly disturbing" reports brought to light that women were strip-searched and examined before their flight from Doha to Sydney.
A newborn, unidentified baby was found abandoned in a toilet in Hamad International Airport in Doha, prompting airport authorities to check all women for signs of having recently given birth.
The incident occurred on 2 October but came to light now after many Australian women spoke out against it. Women from other countries, too, were strip-searched, reported BBC.
