Several Australian women allegedly forced to submit to invasive strip searches at Doha’s Hamad airport have been given the go-ahead by the federal court to sue Qatar Airways after a “long and stressful struggle”.

The five women, who cannot be legally named, were among hundreds of women alleged to have been forcibly removed from aircraft at Doha on 2 October 2020 as officials searched for the mother of a newborn found in a bathroom at the terminal.

What the fuck.
