Sky News published this video item, entitled “Woman says she was forced to strip naked in Greater Manchester Police cell” – below is their description.
A woman says she was forced to strip naked in a police cell and threatened by officers to drop complaints she had made against them.
Dannika Stewart says that she was detained after complaining that an alleged sexual crime committed against a young person was not being investigated properly.
Dannika is a subject of an inquiry by Dame Vera Baird into police strip searches and the treatment of women in custody.
Dannika agreed to tell Sky News her story ahead of the Baird review’s publication.
A GMP spokesperson told Sky News: “Greater Manchester Police activity is driven by just three things: to fight, prevent and reduce crime, keep people safe and care for victims. Where we are not successful, we admit our failings and we work transparently within governance and regulatory arrangements to redress what has gone wrong.
“Miss Stewart’s complaints continue to be reviewed by Dame Vera Baird and the Professional Standards Directorate. Until these reviews have concluded and reported their findings to Miss Stewart, it wouldn’t be right for the force to comment publicly.”
