Isahluko sesifunda saseWashington soMkhandlu Wezobudlelwano baseMelika-Islamic (CAIR-WA), ngokubambisana neCAIR Legal Defense Fund, namuhla simemezele ukufakwa kwecala elibhekene ne-Alaska Airlines egameni labesilisa ababili abangama-Black Muslim bokufika abathola impatho yokucwaswa. Abasebenzi nabaphathi be-Alaska Airlines ngokusekelwe esikhalazweni esilahliwe somunye umgibeli.
NgoFebhuwari 2020, abangani nozakwabo uMohammed no-Abobakkr bazinza ezihlalweni zabo zesigaba sokuqala ohambweni lwebhizinisi Alaska Airlines indiza esuka e-Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
U-Mohammed no-Abobakkr bobabili besilisa, abaMnyama, abanentshebe, baseSudan, abazalelwa eMpumalanga Ephakathi, izakhamuzi zamaSulumane zase-United States ezikhuluma isi-Arabhu nesiNgisi. U-Abobakkr ubethumela umbhalo ngesi-Arabhu nomngane wakhe owayengekho endizeni. Omunye umgibeli, owayengakhulumi noma engasifundi isi-Arabhu, ubecupha ngesikhathi u-Abobakkr ebhala umyalezo. Ukubona ulimi lwesi-Arabhu kwamcasula lo mgibeli, futhi bakhononda ezisebenzini ze-Alaska Airlines.
Esikhundleni sokuvikela amakhasimende abo ekubandlululeni abanye abagibeli, i-Alaska Airline yenza ngokukhipha amadoda endizeni, yawahlazisa phambi kwabagibeli abakanye nawo, yachaza abagibeli ngokungadingekile, yabeka amadoda ezinyathelweni ezengeziwe zokuphepha ngemva kokuba eseyibukezile kakade ifoni ka-Abobakkr futhi yaqinisekisa. emaphoyiseni ukuthi imilayezo yombhalo yayingenacala nokuthi amadoda ayengelona usongo, futhi ewavimbela ngokusobala ukuthi ahambe ndawonye ezindizeni eziphinde zabhukwa kamuva.
Ukucwaswa kwe-Alaska Airlines kula madoda akuzange nje kuphazamise uhambo lwawo lwebhizinisi, kodwa futhi kubabangele ukucindezeleka okukhulu okuhlala isikhathi eside okungokomzwelo kanye nengcindezi enkulu yokugwema ukunaka kwabanye futhi baziphathe ngezindlela ezifihla ubuzwe babo nenkolo lapho bendiza.
Isikhalazo esifakwe yi-CAIR-WA ngesomonakalo futhi sifuna ukuqulwa kwecala eNkantolo Yesifunda yase-US Yesifunda Esisentshonalanga ye-Washington. Icala lifuna ukwephulwa kombuso kanye nesifundazwe kwamalungelo omphakathi ka-Mohammed no-Abobakkr njengabagibeli abakhokhelayo endizeni ye-Alaska Airlines.
Ukuze kuvinjwe ukucwaswa okufanayo esikhathini esizayo, i-CAIR-WA icela umyalelo wokuyalela i-Alaska Airlines ukuthi inikeze ukuqeqeshwa kokuzwelana ngokwebala nenkolo kubasebenzi, kanye nokusungula iphrothokholi ebucayi ngokwesiko nezinqubo zokusingatha izikhalazo zabagibeli.
Ku-Mohammed no-Abobakkr, i-CAIR-WA ifuna isinxephezelo ngomonakalo wezomnotho nokucindezeleka ngokomzwelo abahlangabezane nakho. Ukwengeza, i-CAIR-WA ifuna umonakalo wokujezisa i-Alaska Airlines ngokuphatha kabi abagibeli bayo.
Esitatimendeni, ummeli wamalungelo abantu uLuis Segura uthe: "Ukuphathwa kabi ngamabomu kwala madoda kuncike esikweni elaziwa kabanzi le-Islamophobia ekuhambeni ngendiza ukuze yenze i-Alaska Airlines ibukeke njengeqhawe phambi kwabanye abagibeli, kuyilapho inqabela amakhasimende ethu amalungelo awo ayisisekelo omphakathi. Akekho umgibeli okhokhayo okufanele akhuthazelele ukuphathwa okunjalo—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubukeka kanjani, ulimi lwakhe, noma ukholo lwakhe. Thina kwa-CAIR-WA sizokwenza konke okusemandleni ethu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi le nkampani yezindiza inesibopho ngezenzo zayo nokuthi zonke izinkampani zezindiza zicabanga kabili ngaphambi kokuziphatha okufanayo esikhathini esizayo.”
Esitatimendeni, uMnu. Abobakkr uthe: “Ngizoya emaphethelweni alolu hlelo ngoba ngifuna izinkampani zezindiza ziyeke ukwenza lokhu kunoma yimuphi umuntu. Lapho sihamba ngalolo suku, sasingaphathwa ngendlela efanayo nabanye abantu, futhi kwakungenza ngizizwe sengathi angilingani nabanye abantu. Angifuni ukuthi lokhu kuphinde kwenzeke kunoma ubani, umSulumane noma ongeyena umSulumane.”
Njengenhlangano elwela amalungelo abantu, i-CAIR-WA iyazi kahle indlela uMohammed no-Abobakkr—kanye namanye amaSulumane amaningi avakashela e-US nsuku zonke—aphathwa ngokungenabulungisa ngenxa yobandlululo olugxilile kanye nokwenza kube yicala kobunikazi bamaSulumane, abamnyama. abantu, nabakhuluma isi-Arabhu ezweni lakithi.
Izigameko ezinjengalesi zilimaze wonke umphakathi wamaSulumane esifundazweni saseWashington. Sifanelwe okungcono. Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwemibili lokhu kwenzeka, futhi i-Alaska Airlines ibonise ngokuphindaphindiwe ingenasithakazelo ekwenzeni noma yiluphi uhlobo lwezinguquko noma ukulungisa. Sikholelwa ukuthi sesidlulile isikhathi soshintsho, futhi ekufakeni leli cala sithatha isinyathelo esisodwa esibheke esikhathini esizayo lapho noma yimuphi umuntu, kungakhathaliseki uhlanga noma inkolo yakhe, engahamba ngaphandle kokwesaba ukucwaswa noma ukuhlaziswa.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Instead of protecting their customers from the bigotry of other passengers, Alaska Airline acted by removing the men from the flight, humiliating them before their fellow passengers, unnecessarily deplaning the passengers, subjecting the men to additional security measures after having already reviewed Abobakkr's phone and confirmed to police that the text messages were innocuous and that the men posed no threat, and explicitly prohibiting them from traveling together on re-booked later flights.
- Isahluko sesifunda saseWashington soMkhandlu Wezobudlelwano baseMelika-Islamic (CAIR-WA), ngokubambisana neCAIR Legal Defense Fund, namuhla simemezele ukufakwa kwecala elibhekene ne-Alaska Airlines egameni labesilisa ababili abangama-Black Muslim bokufika abathola impatho yokucwaswa. Abasebenzi nabaphathi be-Alaska Airlines ngokusekelwe esikhalazweni esilahliwe somunye umgibeli.
- Ukuze kuvinjwe ukucwaswa okufanayo esikhathini esizayo, i-CAIR-WA icela umyalelo wokuyalela i-Alaska Airlines ukuthi inikeze ukuqeqeshwa kokuzwelana ngokwebala nenkolo kubasebenzi, kanye nokusungula iphrothokholi ebucayi ngokwesiko nezinqubo zokusingatha izikhalazo zabagibeli.
