...commandos moved through the building, four gun-toting plainclothes officers entered the emergency ward, ordering patients, doctors and nurses to lie facedown on the floor.

The strikers claimed that she had been left unattended when doctors and nurses were rounded up by the commandos. Asked one union member: !
