Young Man in Nepal Forcibly Restrained and Drugged

This folder contains information and photographs that were forwarded to MindFreedom. Akal was 21 when he was admitted to a mental health facility in December 2007. There he was chained to a bed and forcibly drugged. Thanks to the efforts of a concerned individual in Nepal, Akal is now no longer in this dire situation. (Please note that MFI has not had the opportunity to obtain independent verification of this story, which was published on the web 23 June 2008.) Those seeking more information may contact Matrika Devkota at: devkotam(at)gmail(dot)com

Rae Unzicker & Justin Dart

Rae (1948-2001) was a psychiatric survivor activist who was a key bridge-builder between the entire disability movement and our movement to change the mentalh health system. Rae championed the National Council on Disability (NCD) report, From Privileges to Rights: People Labeled with Psychiatric Disabilities Speaking For Themselves. Rae is shown here with her beloved Justin Dart (1930 - 2002), widely considered one of the key disability activists of the last century, and also a bridge builder between our movements. Both Rae and Justin were MFI members. (Photo by Cookie Gant)
