This is utterly disgusting. It was quite obvious she was on her period and needed her underclothes to wear a pad. And not having any water is especially dangerous because a woman loses a lot of water with the beginning of her period. She could have become seriously dehydrated. They wanted to humiliate her in the most egregious way. For one, being Native and for two, being a woman.

Ethel Pelly, 42, was arrested and charged with a drug offence in February 2012 and taken to the Yorkton holding cells.
