Handicapped journalist: Roula Helou Not allowed to board MEAirline
I was in another room and heard a young woman sobbing during the evening news. She was saying that she is feeling terribly “humiliated, deeply hurt and her dignity as a person trampled” (majrou7at, mouhaanat…).
“Today, my handicap precedes my humanity. I am sad that my country does not respect or care for my handicapped condition…”
Roula Al Helou said that she has already toured the world on her own and also boarded the MEAirlines many times.
The MEAirline changed her policy and stopped Roula from flying to Egypt this time around.
Why the airline host and supervisor had to taunt Roula and ordered her to walk down the aisle?

Note: The Arabic comment of Roula
نعم اليوم اعاقتي تسبق انسانيتي وذلك في مطار بيروت وتحديدا مع شركة “الميدل ايست” اي الطيران الوطني. الشركة منعتني من السفر لاني مسافرة وحدي ولا استطيع المشي في الطيارة. “انا اليوم حزينة في وطن لا يحترم اعاقتي وبين شركات تحرمنا من استقلاليتنا وحريتنا الفردية وكياننا، عار علي ان ابقى هنا بين بشر لا يحترم انجازاتي ولا يقدر تخطي الذات وقوة شخصيتي”.
