The Australian Federal Police began interviewing women who were subjected to invasive searches at Doha airport less than two days after the incident, but it is yet to launch an official investigation over concerns it doesn't have jurisdiction

It is believed 18 women in total were subjected to physical searches, with 13 Australians and five women from other countries.Foreign Minister Marise Payne first called Qatar's ambassador to Australia, Saad Abdulla AL-Mahmoud, on October 6 to raise her concern about the incident. She phoned the ambassador again on Monday afternoon, telling him that Qatari authorities needed to complete their investigation urgently.

DFAT began raising its concern with authorities in Qatar before October 6, according to government sources. "It is an abhorrent and unwarranted abuse of power, and a humiliating and intimidating experience for the women involved," Mr Sharma said."I expect a prompt and extensive explanation from Qatari authorities, as well as an apology to the women who had to endure such a humiliating and disturbing incident."

"These women have been subjected to an outrageous violation and it is a dreadful thing to have occurred.

Of course they have no jurisdiction in Doha. Any outrage over NSW police stripping pubescent girls?

Australian women subject to 'invasive' search at Doha airport after newborn found in bathroomFemale passengers, including 13 Australians, flying from Qatar were subjected to invasive searches after a premature baby was found abandoned in an airport bathroom. Why are you not reporting on this SBS ? This is disgusting. I bet a lot of Australian women don't want to fly Qatar right now, but they don't have the flexibility to choose their airline because of the government's arrival caps. Their government left them vulnerable & desperate and they were violated. strandedAussies Good on Qatar western women think they can just kill babies and get away with it
