He criticized the airline's action as discriminatory and a violation of human rights, noting that the affected individuals were already checked in and boarding when they were ejected. The incident has sparked calls for the airline to revise its regulations and ensure transparent booking policies to prevent future systemic discrimination against passengers with disabilities.
