13 women on a flight to Australia were taken aside from a planned flight to Australia onto the tarmac of Doha Airport and ....."According to the report, the women had their genitals invasively examined without consent and were not told why."

So they were sitting on a plane, and then shortly after taking their seats, were removed onto the tarmac and medically inspected without any idea why.

The Australian "Federal Government is waiting on more detailed information from Qatari authorities."

I would be very interested in what their "justification" could possibly be.

they found a baby in a toilet at the airport a month ago.  It's a crazy stupid justification, but that's the one they're giving.

I hope someone sues.

I mean, couldn't they have run a DNA test on the baby to find the mother, rather than run invasive vaginal exams on every woman who walks through the airport in Doha?

Video of the baby at the centre of the scandal has surfaced:

I cannot comment on this story as we don't (and probably wont) get the full picture.

Bizarre nonetheless.

Qatari prosecutors have filed criminal charges against officials at Hamad International Airport. They've also filed attempted murder charges against the child's mother.

Prosecutors in Qatar have announced that the airport police officers who ordered forced vaginal examinations of female passengers after a newborn child was discovered abandoned in a bin have been charged and could face prison sentences of up to three years.

Prosecutors did not say how many officers faced charges over the incident last month at Hamad international airport, which sparked widespread anger in Australia, a key destination for the state-owned Qatar Airways.

“Extensive investigations revealed that some employees of the airport security department acted unilaterally by summoning female medical staff to conduct external examination to some female passengers, thinking that what they had done was within the law,” a statement from prosecutors said on Monday.

The public prosecutor said it had also charged the child’s mother, who left the country, with attempted murder and that it had launched legal proceedings to arrest her. The mother, identified as of “Asian nationality”, could face a maximum penalty of 15 years, the statement said.
