In an investigation of a serious offence in "Western" countries (of which, one supposes, most of us here are citizens), it is common for people to be arrested, detained for several days, repeatedly questioned, released on bail (with significant restrictions on their liberty), even if they are ultimately not charged with any crime. Do we think the treatment of some passengers on this flight was significantly worse than this?
They rounded up females and subjected them to invasive searches reportedly without explanation.. like another poster said not sure you would have the same carefree attitude if it was your wife or daughter and a crime just happen to have occurred in their vicinity....Yes I do think that is significantly worse... this was not a pat down for weapons.
Common for people to be arrested, detained and questioned for days because a crime happened in their vicinity? Not sure where you live but people being arrested and detained for days on mass in Australia because they were in the vicinity of a crime is not something I’ve seen.
100% agree it’s their country and therefore their laws and customs apply, doesn’t mean we need to accept it.
