Security forces at Zayed Airport in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), obstructed journalist Leyla Hamed for wearing an 'FC Palestine' t-shirt.
Security personnel told the journalist that she had to remove the t-shirt or cover the 'FC Palestine' text on it.
Hamed shared the situation in a video she posted on social media. In the video released by Leyla Hamed, security forces approach the journalist and tell her that she must remove the t-shirt.
When Hamed asked the officer why they were bothered by Palestine, the officer replied, "The issue is not about Palestine, it is about the logo on the t-shirt. It is forbidden to wear this at the airport; my boss called me and you need to take the t-shirt off."
In a statement regarding the incident, Hamed said, "I am still wearing the t-shirt, and I am proud to wear this t-shirt."
