Shocking videos of two Gypsy and Traveller women being arrested during a police raid on an unauthorised camp in Essex have been sent to the Travellers’ Times.
In the videos the two women are surrounded by police and handcuffed as screaming children run around distraught at what they are seeing.
The women have asked us not to publish the videos because they are so traumatic and instead only the TT can only publish use stills with identities concealed.
“The police pressure pointed me until I was in a seizure,” Whitney – one of the women arrested - told the Travellers’ Times. “I am seven months pregnant," said Whitney who is a Romany Gypsy. The police then hand cuffed me while I was having a seizure and carried me across a field.”
