Dear friends,
We are writing to you because we are horrified by the recent torture
and death of another woman kept inside a cage in a Czech psychiatric
hospital
Caged beds are one of the many forms of torture still allowed against
psychiatric patients under Czech law.
The Board of the European Network of (Ex-)Users and Survivors of
Psychiatry (ENUSP) has drafted the attached statement.
We would be grateful if you could read it- If you support it, please
consider distributing it within your network. We've also prepared a
sample protest message that people can send to the Czech govt (address
enclosed) or the Czech embassy in their country - For a list of
embassies around the world, please see here:

ideas for distribution, etc.
Thank you,
ENUSP Board and workers
