Sexual harassment at airport , what was he thinking.

LAHORE: A British national woman was sexually harassed at the Allama Iqbal International Airport by an employee of a restaurant inside the international departure lounge, The News learnt from sources on Monday.

The incident occurred at the restaurant inside the departure lounge of the AIIA around 7am on July 31, the sources revealed, identifying the victim as 32-year-old Lucy Wickendon (passport No ************).

The sources maintained she arrived at the restaurant at 7 am to go to Amsterdam, Holland, on PIA flight PK-765. She placed an order for a cup of tea to the member of staff serving at the table, Sohail Azam. Soon after placing the order she went to ladies toilet upstairs. When she came out of the toilet, she saw Sohail Azam standing near the wash-basin who later stood in her way.

"Sohail Azam said something through immoral gesture but I could not understand what he wanted to say," Wickendon said in her written statement given to the Civil Aviation Authority personnel, adding that when she tried to go out, he blocked her way.

She questioned what he wanted but he continued to give her immoral gestures . "Suddenly I realised what he was asking and I screamed, No," she said, adding that then she managed to rush out of the toilet. Two security personnel of the Airport Security Force (ASF) also reached the spot soon after hearing the screams of the woman and overpowered Sohail Azam.

Sarwar Road police said ASF Company Commander Rao Aslam and Duty Forecasting Officer (DFO) Islam Butt also reached the spot and handed over the culprit, Sohail Azam, to the police. A case under Section 18-7-79 Hudood Ordinance was registered against the accused and he was sent to jail.

The sources said the British woman was so furious and almost all the senior staffers of the CAA including Airport Director Nusratullah reached the spot and tried to calm her down. "The CAA officials succeeded in getting a mild statement in writing from the victim after assuring her that a stringent action would be taken against the culprit," sources claimed.

The restaurant was sealed immediately after the incident but the CAA officials allowed the management to start operations on the pretext that passengers were facing problems just after seven days of the incident, ie on August 7.

Recently, two such incidents have taken place at Wagah Customs check-post, which can be an eye-opener for the authorities concerned and timely action could help avoid happening of any serious incident in future. The Customs authorities tried to hush up both the cases and one of the incidents was not even brought to the notice of the high officials.

Both the incidents took place separately some four to five months ago with an Australian tourist and an American nationality holder Sikh woman. Both the women entered Pakistan from India and reportedly faced sexual harassment at the hands of the Customs officials posted at the Wagah Customs check-post.

The Australian tourist had submitted a written application to one of the inspectors posted at the Customs check-post in which she narrated the entire incident, ie as to how and who harassed her, but the issue was hushed up and no action was taken against the culprit.

The personnel concerned tendered a written apology to the Australian tourist after which the case was closed down. On the other hand, the American nationality holder Sikh woman routed her application through the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, which forwarded the case to their Pakistani counterparts and later the case was transferred to the chairman of Central Board of Revenue. The CBR chairman, sensing the gravity of the issue, immediately suspended a Customs inspector and ordered a detailed probe. Deputy Collector Nadeem Ahsan was appointed to investigate the issue.

Chief Manager Commercial Farid Lodhi, when contacted, said the culprit was handed over to the Sarwar Road police and a case had been registered against him. He said the manager of the restaurant had also been suspended on the charges of negligence. He said the matter was being investigated and an appropriate action would also be taken against the contractor.

LOL, whatever. Dude was an ass. You think this **** doesn't happen in the states?

" A case under Section 18-7-79 Hudood Ordinance was registered against the accused and he was sent to jail."

It's not gonna be fun for him....these aren't your wimpy secular laws where he gets to do community service or a trip to the shrink...

lol...some of these dumb freshies always assume that if you are from abroad you must be up for sex...fools...dubai is even worse iv heard...a friend of mine was offered money for sex twice and proposed to once when she went on holiday...poor guys need to learn some game and realise that just cos you are white doesn't mean you're going to have sex with anyone....
Still its harsh to arrest him...he didnt actually do anything...he just suggested something

Come on, You know a lot of Pakistai guys are pervs.. Thats what happens when your opress peoples natural sexual tendncies...
Funny how the retarded Hudood laws are actually useful all of the sudden..

So why rape and abduction is so common even in western countries?
Sex is relatively easily available there.....

We do not have to jump to the conclusion my friends...

I know the myths. But the fact is, the only lecherous people I know are best described as "oversexed". Why is it that in such a sexually liberal society as we have here in the west, we would expect a calming of sexualization of our media...but on the contrary...it's all about sex.

So, true...many Pakis are pervs. But it's hardly the stero-typical repressed "lowering gaze" kinda guy. This guy is perhaps getting together with his homo buddies whacking each other off every day...watching porn...and frequents prostitutes. That's the MO of pervs like these...

PaKpatriot1 · Aug 9th, 2005, 11:55 PM

Actually, the guy is probably taking turns sodomizing some poor guy in a back alley some place.
Yes, there are certainly many myths, and I am generalizing, but I think Pakistani guys tend to be bigger pervs simply because everyone is encouraged to suppress their feeling around the opposite sex. Anyone place where there is so much sexual oppresion you get people like this, its like being in US prison, where all you can do is play pocket pool for your own pleasure. One of the reasons he probably came onto a foreigner is because he probably thought that her being a foreigner made it ok, since she is not a member of our undersexed society.
I know im oversimplifying things, but I really thnk Pakistanis need to loosen up a little..

picoico · Aug 10th, 2005, 09:53 AM

PakPatriot,

I don't think there is a credible link between being undersexed and being a perv...the existance of pervs in Western society is a perfect example...

Pakis may need to loosen up a bit, but not to the extent of the west....not by a long shot....

PaKpatriot1 · Aug 10th, 2005, 10:59 AM

ok... I guess, but still I dont see anything wrong with a little leg even in Pakistan

Might cool some burning hormones..
Though you have to admit, Pakistanis, and by that I mean the uneducated ones, by which I mean the majority, do have this image that all western women are out for sex and that its ok to harass them since thats what they want.

Shak killS · Aug 10th, 2005, 11:14 AM

ignorance and too much influence of blue films, make them think every "gory" is like that!

PaKpatriot1 · Aug 10th, 2005, 11:36 AM

Although I have to admit, certain goris dont help by actually pandering to this perv notion. A friend of a friend actually got to America by seducing a Gori from the states on the internet and getting her to fly out to Islamabad where they got married..
They are now divorced offcourse, and he is living out his days in New York screwing everything that moves...

AHHH Happy endings..

Shak killS · Aug 11th, 2005, 05:03 AM

^^^ well in that case he got what he wanted - be in US
that gori must be very serious about him, she wasnt just gone to pakistan for one night stand, i dont think she falls in that category.

CheGuvera · Aug 11th, 2005, 02:19 PM

^^ She must've been a fatty, gettin none....

Yeah, plus he said she loved his moves in the sack

Anyways, I was just proud that a fellow Pakistani could seduce a gori into coming to Pakistan just by online chattting

PAK SAR ZAMEEN SHAAD BAAD... ! PAKISTAN...ZINDABAD!
