An "explosive" report has found Greater Manchester Police Officers are abusing their power and carrying out unnecessary strip searches on women and girls taken into custody.

The independent inquiry found officers sometimes treat victims as perpetrators, and traumatising those who have suffered sexual abuse or domestic violence.

The review was launched following a Sky News investigation into the stories of a number of women who say they were inappropriately strip-searched by officers.

In response to the findings, a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “We apologise and accept the recommendations of the inquiry. We have already made some improvements but acknowledge there is more to do.”

In respect of Zayna Iman’s allegations they say: “We understand the concerns raised … which is why we referred this case to the IOPC last year for an independent and rigorous review.

“We continue to fully co-operate with their ongoing investigation and await their findings before further comment.”
