Airline abuse
In the past three or four years I have heard stories about the mistreatment
of Iranians by some of the Northwest Airline staff at Minneapolis airport.
I know of three families who are about to sue NWA for an incident which
happened last May.
They were denied boarding because they did not have a Netherlands transit
visa - which we all know is not needed - and surely NWA staff knew that
after so many years of handling Iranians passengers.
If there are other Iranians who have been subject to similar or any
other mistreatments and they feel that was because of their nationality,
this suit can be broadened into a class-action (group) suit.
