CCHR International praised a New Zealand inquiry’s report revealing decades of appalling abuses in psychiatric, behavioral, and disability institutions. Released on July 24 by the Royal Commission, the highest-level inquiry in New Zealand, the findings culminate a six-year, $101 million investigation that uncovered a Kafkaesque nightmare of individuals being tortured under the guise of mental health care.
