Qatar cops may face 3 years in jail for invasive search of female air passengers

Qatari officials said the airport police officers who ordered forced vaginal examinations of female passengers, after an abandoned newborn was found, have been charged and may be jailed up to three years. The October 2 Hamad International Airport incident had triggered outrage in Australia. Qatar said it had identified the parents of the abandoned baby, who they said belonged to ’Asian countries.’
