Mental Disability Advocacy Center (MDAC) saluta compensatia “piatra de hotar pentru drepturile omului”

11 Martie 2010, Budapesta (Ungaria), St. Petersburg (Rusia) si Strasbourg (Franta).

MDAC saluta hotararea de saptamana trecuta a Curtii europene a Drepturilor Omului care a cerut guvernului rus sa plateasca despagubiri de 25.000 euro unei persoane cu probleme de sanatate mintala, care a fost privata in mod ilegal de drepturi si tinuta in mod arbitrar intr-un spital de psihiatrie mai mult de sase luni. Aceasta este cea mai mare despagubire pe care Curtea a acordat-o vreodata intr-un caz de nerespectare a drepturilor persoanelor cu dizabilitati.

MDAC hails compensation “milestone for global human rights”

11 March 2010, Budapest (Hungary), St. Petersburg (Russia) and Strasbourg (France).

MDAC welcomes last week’s judgment of the European Court of Human Rights which ordered the Russian government to pay 25,000 EUR compensation to a man with mental health disabilities who was unlawfully deprived of legal capacity and arbitrarily detained in a psychiatric hospital for more than six months. This is the largest amount of compensation the Court has ever awarded in a disability rights case.
