Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A mental hospital nurse who was reinstated after being struck off for raping a "vulnerable" former patient was ordered by a High Court judge yesterday to be suspended once more from the professional register pending legal action by the Royal College of Nursing to stop him working again.
Yuen How Choy, 50, was convicted of the rape in 1984 and received two years' imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. The offence was committed while he was a staff nurse for Brighton Health Authority. He already had a previous conviction, in 1972, for sedating a patient in order to have sex with her. There was an outcry in the nursing profession when Choy was restored to the register of nurses by the UK Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting in March this year.
