Australia condemned the Qatari authorities on Oct. 26 for an invasive search performed on female passengers before a flight from Doha to Sydney following the discovery of a newborn baby.
The incident took place Oct. 2 after a newborn baby was found abandoned at Hamad International Airport before a Qatar Airways flight to the Australian city. Authorities at the airport dispatched medical and social workers to care for the baby and then attempted to locate the mother, The Associated Press reported.
