@global1479 A cruel family accused of dousing a bride in chemicals and force-feeding her pills that left her in a vegetative state after she was flown to Britain from Pakistan for an arranged marriage were today convicted of abuse. Ambreen Fatima Sheikh has been in a persistent vegetative state for eight years after suffering 'irretrievable' brain damage. She can breathe unaided but she has no consciousness of the world around her. The court heard the probable explanation for the 38-year-old's condition was that she had unwillingly swallowed tablets prescribed to her diabetic mother-in-law that resulted in a hypoglycaemic attack. Such tablets are extremely dangerous if taken by non-diabetics and have been dubbed 'one pill killers' to small children. The prosecution case was that the tablets were not taken voluntarily and by then the socially isolated and vulnerable Ambreen had suffered a 'pattern of violence' behind the closed doors of the terraced house in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, she shared with her husband, parents-in-law and brother and sister-in-law. A large black wound on her lower back was said to have been caused by a caustic chemical substance in the days before Ambreen was rushed to hospital in an unconscious state. The chemical probably also caused an injury to her ear, the court heard.#globalnews1479 ♬ mirage - théos & Antent
