"Two years ago, at least a dozen women on a Qatar Airways flight to Sydney were
ordered off the plane at Doha Airport in Qatar and subjected to forced vaginal
examinations.
Australia made diplomatic protests, as both the airline and the airport are
controlled by the government of Qatar. The Qatari government issued a public
apology and said that, “Those responsible for these violations and illegal
actions have been referred to the Public Prosecution Office.” Last month, just
before the start of the World Cup soccer tournament in Qatar, some of the women
filed a lawsuit in an Australian court against the airport operator and the
airline.
If you think that this couldn’t happen in the USA, or that the victims would
fare better with government authorities and in the courts in the USA than in
Qatar, think again."
