| Subject: Ms Dhu's death in OZschwitz custody: The shocking footage Mon Sep 26, 2016 9:54 pm | |
| Dragged from her cell. Handcuffed and paralysed. Hauled, dying, into the back of a police truck. This week Australia may be confronted, yet again, with images and footage of the justice system failing Aboriginal people, with devastating results.
Ms Dhu, whose first name is not used for cultural reasons, died slowly and alone on the concrete floor of a regional police cell at South Hedland police station in August 2014. She was 22 years old, had never been in custody before and was locked up for three days because she couldn't pay her fines.
