THE family of a British tourist who slapped an immigration officer in Bali say they are "deeply ashamed" of her violent holiday tantrums.

Auj-e Taqaddas, 43, first came to the public's attention in July when she launched into a foul-mouthed rant and struck the official after being hit with a £3100 fine for overstaying her visa.

In another impressive tantrum Taqaddas was filmed resisting escorts on her way to court, and then screaming at a judge after receiving 6 months in prison.

Her violent behaviour has reportedly caused her elderly father, a respected former physician, and brother, an IT specialist, huge embarrassment, a family friend told the Mail yesterday.

According to the friend, Taqaddas used to live in south London after emigrating from Pakistan but moved away ten years ago, and had an "aggressive streak" and sometimes "lost rationale".

That aggressive streak has earned her the nickname Dora the Explorer online in Bali, after more videos emerged purporting to show her screaming at hotel staff and attacking a security guard with a chair and broom.

They've had very little contact with her over the last few years.

The friend said she was very intelligent: "She worked for the Royal Marsden Hospital about eight or nine years ago and was a specialist in Radiography.

That position ended after Taqaddas wrote and published a book on the use of radiography in treating cancer with the hospital disagreed with, the friend said.

"It caused a lot of friction so I was told and a short while later she left the Royal Marsden and travelled around the world ... I think the falling-out with the hospital meant she struggled to get work in the UK.

The friend said Taqaddas' father was an eminent former doctor who is now quite frail and her brother has two masters degrees in IT.

"They've had very little contact with her over the last few years."

In the latest tantrum video, Taqaddas tries to stop court escorts placing her in handcuffs, before trying to kick one near the groin.

As she continues to struggle, she shouts: "I am walking, there is no need for this! Come on!"

Finally she is bundled into a waiting car.

Several other videos have also surfaced since the infamous airport incident apparently showing Taqaddas causing chaos around Indonesia.

The other videos appear to show her attacking a security guard with a broom and chair, and screaming at hotel staff.

Directorate General of Immigration spokesman Theodorus Simarmata said the other videos were probably recorded before Taqaddas was arrested and detained.

The unruly tourist was first charged after she arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, Indonesia, in July last year to catch a flight to Singapore.

The woman had been issued her boarding pass and was moving through immigration when the officer noticed she had overstayed her month-long visa by a whopping 160 days.

Taqaddas was taken into an office and told she had to pay a fine of £19 for each of the days overstayed.

Indonesia is a criminal country. Indonesian law is corrupt. Indonesian judges are corrupt. No lawyer was provided. Indonesian immigration is corrupt.

Her foul-mouthed tantrum was caught on camera and went viral online, and she was hit with a £3,100 fine.

Her trial began in December, and just concluded with her being sentenced to six months in prison, after being charged with violent behaviour against a government official.

During the trial Taqaddas claimed the video had been edited.

After being sentenced in Denpasar District Court, Taqaddas said the court was corrupt and she had been tortured by police three times including on Wednesday.

She was arrested before the trial in a shopping mall after failing to appear in court on several occasions.

She said: “This is a sham court who was only listening to the dirty prosecutor who did not bring me to the court for six months.”

As two officials escorted her from court, she shouted: “Indonesia is a criminal country. Indonesian law is corrupt. Indonesian judges are corrupt. No lawyer was provided. Indonesian immigration is corrupt.”

She pretended not to know that she had overstayed.

Immigration Chief Ngurah Rai Aris Amran said at the time of the incident: ''She slapped the officer, who is a respected guard.

''She pretended not to know that she had overstayed."

"She touched immigration, which means touching representatives of the nation. So we reported it to the police."

The original video shows how the fine sent Taqaddas into a rage and she was caught on camera branding immigration officer Ardyansyah, 28, a ''f*****g b*****d''.

When she tried to snatch back her passport, Ardyansyah quickly pulled it away - and she retaliated by slapping him.
