一名原住民女性在昆士兰州医院分娩期间被铐在病床上1。该女性通过剖腹产生下早产儿，在医院期间遭到间歇性铐束，导致其健康状况恶化1。倡导组织Sisters Inside的首席执行官Debbie Kilroy指出，医院工作人员曾试图移除脚镣，但遭到监狱工作人员拒绝1。昆士兰惩教部门证实了该事件，并表示将进行内部审查1。
这一事件发生在澳大利亚国会投票反对禁止这一做法的法案仅几天后1。禁止分娩期间铐住被监禁女性的议案在国会遭到工党和联盟党的联合否决1。澳大利亚已签署联合国《曼谷规则》，该规则规定"任何时候都不得在分娩期间、分娩时或分娩后立即对妇女使用约束工具"1。参议员Lidia Thorpe表示"有权力结束这些野蛮、不人道、创伤和完全不必要的做法"1，而昆士兰自由党参议员Paul Scarr则对这种做法"深感担忧"1。
An Aboriginal woman was restrained with shackles to a hospital bed while giving birth in Queensland, an incident that occurred just days after the Australian parliament voted down legislation to ban such practices 1. The woman delivered a premature infant via caesarean section and was intermittently shackled throughout her hospital stay, which exacerbated her health condition 1. Hospital staff attempted to remove the restraints but were rebuffed by correctional officers 1.
The Queensland Department of Corrections confirmed the incident and indicated it will conduct an internal review 1. A bill prohibiting the shackling of detained women during labour, delivery, and the immediate postpartum period was rejected in parliament, with both Labor and Coalition voting against it 1. This rejection contradicts Australia's commitment under the United Nations Bangkok Rules, which explicitly state that "restraint devices shall not be used at any time during labour, delivery or immediately after delivery on women" 1.
Senator Lidia Thorpe characterized the practice as "barbaric, inhumane, traumatic and completely unnecessary," asserting that authorities have the power to end such measures 1. Queensland Liberal Senator Paul Scarr expressed deep concern about the practice 1. Sisters Inside, an advocacy organisation, highlighted the incident through chief executive Debbie Kilroy, drawing attention to the woman's experience and the deterioration of her health resulting from the restraints 1.
