Birmingham: Woman says she was ‘strip-searched and left in police cell for 16 hours without clothing’ | UK News | Sky News


Sinead Foley is among several viewers who have contacted Sky News with allegations of abuse in custody by different police forces.

She is among several viewers who have contacted Sky News with allegations of abuse in custody by different police forces, following our investigation into Greater Manchester Police.
Using a subject access request, she has obtained some of the CCTV of her time in the cell, which shows her being undressed on the floor by female officers.
Sky News has not seen all the footage and Sinead acknowledges she indicated suicidal thoughts – but says she was then stripped again and left naked for 16 hours without anti-rip garments.
At one point male officers are clearly in the cell with her when she is naked – the door is shut, and she is left alone with just a mattress on the floor which she says she later pulled over herself.
