Dina Yehia

Dina Yehia is a lawyer associated with the Redfern Legal Centre, which, along with Slater and Gordon lawyers, is involved in a class action against the state of New South Wales concerning unlawful strip-searches. The state is currently appealing a landmark ruling in this class action. The appeal hearing focuses on the extent of police powers during strip-searches, specifically whether officers can use force to move body parts. This case highlights ongoing legal challenges regarding police conduct and individual rights during searches. The Redfern Legal Centre, where Yehia works, advocates for legal reform and justice for those affected by such practices. The recent developments in the appeal court underscore the critical nature of these legal battles and their potential impact on future policing practices and civil liberties in New South Wales.
