Konstancja Duff tried to give a legal advice card to a teenager who London thugs had stopped on the street for no particular reason. The thugs threw her down (causing permanent injury), charged her with bogus crimes, then tied her up and cut apart her clothing (ruining it), and booked her while she was nearly nude.

Now one of the thugs faces an internal accusation for stripping her.

What about for knocking her down and injuring her? That is worse. You can get over embarrassment, but getting over some injuries is impossible. We cannot allow thugs to get away with claiming they couldn't tell a piece of paper from a weapon.

Bravo to Ms Duff for recognizing that the thugs must do this frequently, and that her somewhat privileged status as a postgraduate student gave her a chance to stand up for everyone's rights.
