In September 2019, Rianna Cleary gave birth alone in a prison cell in HMP Bronzefield.
When the paramedics arrived, her baby Aisha was pronounced dead.
In a broadcast exclusive, she says "the most important thing is that no pregnant women ever go through what I did again."

In case you wondered, the woman had paid her fare. The police “dearrested” her. Wondering how they plan to detraumatise her and her child
The @metpoliceuk is so far from fit for purpose it’s terrifying.
The heavy-handed and totally disproportionate treatment this woman received (in front of her distressed and bewildered young son) was for suspected bus fare evasion, to the tune of £1.75

BREAKING: Carla Foster, jailed last month for procuring her own abortion, will be released from prison today, after the Court of Appeal reduced her sentence to 14 months, suspended for 18 months.
Mrs Justice Lambert said she needed "compassion not punishment."

The average prison sentence for a violent offence in England is 18 months. A woman who had an abortion without following correct procedures just got 28 months under an 1868 act- we need urgent reform to make safe access for all women in England, Scotland and wales a human right.

Another Met Police scandal: a black girl was stripped and searched at school. The search, which involved the exposure of her intimate body parts, took place without an appropriate adult present and with the knowledge that she was menstruating. Case review:

This is what the Human Right Act protects. I want them all. None of them are inconvenient. None of them onerously politically correct. #HumanRights #protecthumanrights #HRA

In a sense, he was right. I AM A THREAT: a threat to injustice, to inequality, to ignorance. Anyone who speaks the truth and walks with hope is an obvious and fatal danger to the powers that be.

@RiaTabaccoMar reflects on the cruelty of the Trump administration during the pandemic. Women seeking abortion and miscarriage care were singled out for a requirement to pick up medication in person. #IWD2021 #DoughtyStreetWomen

We @BarHumanRights join 20 groups supporting historic #GenocideAmendment.
Over recent years, the world has seen egregious #humanrights violations against Rohingya, Uyghur & Yazidi people. UK Govt policy is for genocide to be legally determined in a court. This fills the gap.
