A woman arrested after helping a paralysed woman access an assisted dying facility has blasted 'heavy-handed' officers banging on her door at 5.30am, before locking her up.
Earlier this year, former NHS worker Sue Lawford said that she accompanied Sharon Johnston, a 60-year-old woman who became tetraplegic following a fall, on her trip to the well-known Dignitas clinic in Switzerland, where she had chosen to end her life.
The Swiss non-profit organisation provides physician-assisted suicide to people with severe or terminal illnesses.
