Qatar’s Criminal Court has punished a man and fined him QR5,000 for insulting a woman at the Hamad International Airport (HIA).
A three-judge panel, headed by Judge Mustafa Al Badwihi and consisting of Fatima Abdullah Al Mal and Abdulla Thaqil Al Shammari, handed down the verdict, according to The Peninsula.
The victim, in her complaint, said that the accused man insulted her using words that violated her dignity.
According to the case diary, the accused, while travelling on a shuttle bus after arriving at the HIA on a flight, hit the victim with the foot and started insulting her using inappropriate words.
The defendant denied the charges against him during investigations. He said he had been sitting on one of the seats in the crowded bus and chatting on WhatsApp.
While putting one foot on top of the other, he accidentally hit the woman and, according to the accused, the woman spoke to him in words which he couldn’t understand.
After going over evidence collected during the investigation, the court found the man guilty and decided to fine him QR5,000.
