Qatar finds mother of baby abandoned at airport | Abroad

“Investigations showed that the mother threw the newborn in a trash can in one of the toilets in the departure lounge at the airport and then boarded the plane to her destination,” a Qatari prosecutor said today.

The parents are from an “Asian country”. In Qatar, that reference usually refers to South Asia, where many labor migrants come from. The prosecutor said authorities are trying to arrest the “fugitive” and she will be sentenced to 15 years in prison. He called her the “convicted person”, which indicates that she may already have been tried in absentia.

The premature baby was found in a toilet room at Doha airport in early October. Women at the airport were then arrested, forced to take off their underwear and undergo an internal examination in an ambulance. The incident came to light through an Australian passenger who filed a complaint with the Australian authorities. The government of Qatar decided to prosecute the affected personnel.
