39-year-old Zayna Iman claims she was drugged and raped while in custody by Greater Manchester Police (GMP). The incident occurred on February 5, 2021, at the Pendleton police station.
Zayna was taken into custody after a friend called 999 while she was under the influence of cocaine. The 40-hour detention process deeply affected her. According to her claim, she was drugged and raped in her cell and left naked and in a distressed state.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the incident. There are inconsistencies in the information provided by GMP. Initially, they stated that all footage had been reviewed, then later claimed that some footage had been "corrupted." The IOPC revealed that the footage was never downloaded at all.
CCTV footage shows sudden changes in Zayna's condition. Footage from critical hours is missing. There are discrepancies between the detention records and the footage.
Hospital records support Zayna's rape allegation. Doctors believe she may have been given a "rape drug." However, no physical examination was conducted.
GMP refuses to comment due to the ongoing investigation. This incident came shortly after the Baird review, which revealed that GMP mistreated vulnerable women in custody.
Zayna is fighting for justice. The incident raises serious questions about police custody procedures and transparency.
