Post on MindFreedom Ireland by Mary Maddock

In honour of John Hunt.

The British government admitted today, the 15th of June 2010, that Bloody Sunday was unjustified and unjustifiable. This a great day for Irish freedom.

When will those responsible admit that citizens like John Hunt incarcerated without a trial, chemically lobotomised, separated from his loving family, suffering cognitive, creative and severe psychical adverse drug effects daily that this is indeed unjustified and unjustifiable. There are many other Irish citizens who are compelled to endure the same fate.

Let Brian Cowen recognise this horrific abuse and violence in his own back yard. Let his government who have the power to change our mental health laws put an end to this outrageous situation. Let the wider public put pressure on our government. Let them demand that those who are labeled 'mentally disabled' have the same human /civil rights as every other citizen. It is abominable that criminals have more rights. ( e.g. they are innocent until they are found guilty.)
