Today’s story starts back on October 2, 2020, when Qatari authorities grounded planes at Hamad International Airport in Doha after a baby was found abandoned in a bathroom. The baby had been dumped in a bin.
Following the discovery of the infant, more than 18 women from 10 different flights, including 13 Australians aboard a Sydney-bound Qatar Airways plane, were escorted off planes by armed guards. All women of child-bearing age were ushered into ambulances for physical examinations to determine if they had recently given birth. None of the victims gave their consent.
Our guest today “Jane” (not her real name) was one of the women subjected to the invasive search. She’s one of seven women suing Qatar airways, the civil aviation authority of Qatar and Doha Airport.
