The pain of a woman who had just miscarried was compounded by being wrongly charged for an abortion she knew nothing about.
It was more traumatising and inhumane for the police to forcefully drag the woman to a hospital for pregnancy tests, and then keep her in a criminal court for six years as a suspect for a foetus that was dumped by another woman who aborted it.
She is now before the High Court and is seeking, among others, compensation for illegal arrest, detention, trumped-up charges and ill-treatment.
