Australia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne welcomed the Qatari Prime Minister’s apology on Friday for the mistreatment of female passengers at Doha’s international airport prior to the departure of a flight to Sydney earlier this month.

After a newborn baby was found stuffed in a trash can in one of the women’s toilets at Hamad International Airport on Oct. 2, several female passengers from 10 aircrafts, including 13 Australians and 5 foreign nationals, were searched as authorities attempted to discover who had given birth.
