Anna Brown, 29, died on the floor of a jail cell within an hour of being dragged from St. Mary’s Hospital.

According to Youth Revolutionary Council, Anna Brown, 29, died on the floor of a jail cell within an hour of being dragged from St. Mary’s Hospital. As blood clots spread from her legs to her lungs the hospital staff was busy refusing her further treatment.  She was arrested because she refused to leave, she said she was in to much pain to stand.  So she was carried to a squad car and driven to the Richmond Heights Police Department where officers carried her into a cell and laid her on the floor.  She was found dead only minutes later.

Originally visiting the hospital due to a sprained ankle, she was unaware that the real problem was that her sprained ankle had caused blood clots.  A doctor at St. Mary’s told police that she was okay to go, unwilling to properly treat the woman.  At 7:33 in the video below, you can hear an officer in the cell after she died say, "we thought she was drug sick” but the autopsy revealed that she had not taken any drugs.

Thanks Nima and Yaser for following our pgorrams and your comments. Good job Yaser, I am sure you will soon catch up with the rest of the pgorrams! A question for Nima, you mentioned writings on feminism in your comment. Can you please tell me why talking about gender and sexuality falls into this category? I thought Nassim in her program was talking about all people. I am trying to learn what feminism really means and why is it used so broadly. I guess from my question you can understand I have no background in human studies :) !!
