11 ene 1999 año - Roger Slyvester goes into a coma after police brutality

Descripción:

On the night of 11 January 1999, Roger was found naked by police officers outside his home in Tottenham, north London, after neighbours called them. Two police officers initially attended the scene, but they called for back up and another six officers arrived. Roger was then restrained, handcuffed and, according to police officers, carried face up to a police van and taken to the emergency psychiatric unit at St Anne’s hospital, Haringey. At the hospital he was taken to room 136, for emergency psychiatric cases, where up to six police officers continued to restrain Roger (who was still handcuffed) for over twenty minutes. Roger collapsed and stopped breathing, then was resuscitated but was in a coma. He died seven days later in the Whittington hospital without regaining consciousness.
