英国伦敦警察对650名未成年人脱衣搜身！英媒：包括处在经期的女生（图）

多家英国媒体报道称，超过600名儿童遭伦敦警察厅“侵入性和创伤性”的脱衣搜身（ "intrusive and traumatising" strip-searches）。

据英国《独立报》报道，英国儿童事务专员透露数据显示：从2018年到2020年，约650名年龄在10岁至17岁的青少年接受了脱衣搜查。95%的脱衣检查是针对男孩进行的，其中58%是黑人。

        Some 650 aged between 10 and 17 were strip-searched by the force's officers     
        between 2018 and 2020. Of these children, 58 percent were described by the officer
        as being Black, and more than 95 percent were boys.

据《卫报》报道，英国法律规定，除非紧急情况，否则对未成年人的脱衣搜身需要有“合适的成年人”在场，通常是父母或监护人，也可以是社会工作者、照顾者或志愿者。但在23%的案例中，没有“合适的成年人”在场，比如父母或社会工作者，这与指导原则相悖。

        ...in almost a quarter of cases (23%) an appropriate adult was not present during             the search, despite this being a requirement under statutory guidance.

《卫报》在报道中还提及了2020年一起引发公众愤怒的“脱衣搜查”事件。

当地一名15岁的黑人女学生被怀疑携带大麻入校，在明知她处在经期的情况下，女警对其进行脱衣搜身，且当时没有“合适的成年人”陪同。

    The commissioner launched her investigation following widespread outrage over the
    case of Child Q, a 15-year-old schoolgirl who was strip-searched by female Met
    officers in 2020 after she was wrongly suspected of carrying cannabis at her east
    London school.

此事对该学生造成严重精神创伤，也引发英国社会对未成年人权益保护的关注，多地民众示威抗议。

有关机构审查后认为，种族主义“或是此次脱衣搜身的其中一个原因”。
