Srill Leeb, an American of Jewish descent, filed a lawsuit with the United Airlines and the US Department of Internal Security for the fact that the employees of these organizations have carried out excessively aggressive actions while on board the aircraft. According to his statement, he and his friend were victims of rude treatment when they were forcibly removed from the toilet of the aircraft and forced to go through the corridor without clothes.
The lawsuit filed by Leeb and his friend Jacob Sebbag states that due to a delay in customs and the US border service, men did not have time to translate, but still got to a flight to New York. During the flight, Soril decided to visit the toilet, but the situation quickly got out of control. The flight attendant asked Jacob, where his friend, and after receiving a delay due to chronic problems with the gastrointestinal tract, the crew decided to send the pilot to the toilet. The pilot began unceremoniously demanding that Leeb came out, after which he broke the door of the toilet and, according to the plaintiff, "pulled him out with his pants down, forcing him to go naked through the entire plane." At this time, both men heard swearing and anti -Semitic statements from the pilot. After this incident, upon arrival in Houston, Leeb and Sebbaga, agents of national security were removed from the aircraft. According to them, men were "not entitled" on board because they were under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Internal Security. Despite the fact that they were organized a free flight to New York, both of the victims suffered significant financial losses due to a delay in flight and a forced change of plans. Leeb and Sebbag filed a lawsuit, demanding not only an apology from the airline and federal authorities, but also compensation for non -pecuniary damage and lost tickets. Now the amount of compensation is not disclosed, but it is stated that men require this situation in court.
Representatives of United Airlines confirmed the claim, but refused to comment on the details of the case, citing privacy policy. The Ministry of Internal Security has not yet given an official response to the situation.
This case has become a real blow to the United Airlines and US federal authorities. In addition to violating the personal rights of passengers, the situation has shown problems in communication and etiquette on board, which can have serious legal consequences for both organizations. The lawsuit is expected to provide more information about the actions of the airline and law enforcement officers and may be an important precedent in solving such situations in the future.
