The
29th T4 parade on Remembrance and Resistance Day, May
2nd
We
will meet on Thursday, May 2, 2024 in Berlin for
the 29th T4 parade on the "Day of Remembrance and
Resistance" in memory of the systematic psychiatric
mass murders of 1939 - 1949 and as a sign of the ongoing
resistance against today's forced psychiatry. We will
gather at 3 pm at the memorial
plaque at Tiergartenstr. 4 and march to the European
House, Unter den Linden 78. It represents the European
Commission and the European Parliament on Pariser Platz.
The theme of the procession is:
WHO and UN demand: Non-violent psychiatry now!
The
World Health Organization (WHO), together with the UN
(represented by the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights), has made it a requirement
to abolish all coercive psychiatric measures so that
psychiatry becomes non-violent, i.e. coercive measures
should not only be reduced and avoided, but freedom
from violence should be guaranteed. Adults may still
be locked up in a closed ward of a psychiatric hospital
and subjected to coercive treatment if, and only if,
this is to be tolerated, as previously stipulated in
a living will signed by the person concerned. Such treatment
therefore respects the wishes of the person concerned
and does not violate them. Only in this case of prior
consent in a corresponding living will does freedom
of therapy apply to restraint, confinement and compulsory
treatment.
This
paradigm shift was published by the WHO here: https://iris.who.int/handle/10665/373126,
translated by us into German and published here: http://www.die-bpe.de/who&un.pdf
Non-violent
psychiatry has long been our demand, see most recently
our press release of 23.11.2022 on the occasion of the
handover of the first 1500 signatures to the Federal
Government Commissioner for Matters relating to Persons
with Disabilities and the Monitoring Body of the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(UN CRPD) at the German Institute for Human Rights.
We
are convinced that all those working in the healthcare
system have a duty to organize the healthcare system
in such a way that everyone acts in accordance with
human rights and the requirements of the WHO.
This is why we are protesting on the "Day of Remembrance
and Resistance".
