 Qatar authorities have released a statement saying that they have identified the parents of the baby found near a garbage tin in an Airport in Qatar. The matter received a lot of attention worldwide because the Qatari authorities were accused of sexually assaulting women belonging from different nationalities and especially triggered people in Australia.

More than a dozens of women were invasively searched in the airport where the Qatari authorities found an abandoned baby and targeted women from around 10 flights and examined them without their consent to identify if they were the ones to leave the baby behind. 

On Monday, a statement released by the Qatari prosecutor read that an unspecified number of Qatar airport staff and authorities were detained for carrying out these examinations. These authorities can be charged with sentences up to three years in prison.

As for the identity of the mother, the prosecutor revealed that she has been charged with attempt to murder for leaving the child in such a state. The prosecutor also said that the mother of the baby has been identified to be of Asian nationality and nothing else has been revealed. If convicted, she could face up to 15 years of prison.

As per reports, the mother boarded a flight from Qatar to another country and escaped through the authorities. On October 2 the infant was found and the authorities said that it was either found in or outside the trash can in Hamad International airport in Doha. 

Following this incident, 13 Australian women along with other women boarding different flights were taken for private examination to confirm if the child was hers. This led to mass criticism and anger as people from various spheres categories the act as shameful where women are subjected to sexual assault.

It is a offense in Qatar to have sex with a person outside of marriage and due to this act, it not so uncommon for women to abandon their kids.
