This article discusses two cases brought before the European Court of Human Rights involving individuals who were placed in psychiatric hospitals against their will and subjected to psychiatric treatment. In the first case, a Moldovan national alleged abandonment and forced medication, resulting in a life-threatening condition. The court initially sentenced the mayor responsible for finding a solution for the individual, but the Supreme Court of Justice later acquitted the mayor. The second case involved a 15-year-old child with an intellectual disability who experienced delays in discharge, was transferred to the adults' section, and received psychiatric treatment. The court found violations of the European Convention on Human Rights, including the prohibition of ill-treatment, discrimination, and the right to an effective remedy. The Moldovan state was required to address the systemic issues identified in the cases. [Extracted from the article] |
