Release KATE RAUE: 'Improperly detained' in Rangipapa
- av: Gail Penney and Penneylaneonline.com
- mottagare: Kate Raue is a blogwriter and the owner of the website Transparency in New Zealand (TiNZ), a website dedicated to telling the true stories of corruption in New Zealand. For more than 1 month now she has been %u201Cimproperly detained%u201D in the mental health facility called %u2018Rangipapa%u2019 in Porirua, NZ.
Kate has been denied both basic civil and human rights during and throughout her 'detainment'. When she was 'detained', she had never been medically diagnosed or assessed as having a mental disorder.
Today, based on reports of "direct observations or info from other sources incl. family" (dubiously garnered) Kate is being treated as if she HAS a mental disorder and is currently under Doctor's instructions to be forcibly medicated.
She is forcibly medicated with two different pills (Risperdal and Aripiprazole - their use TOGETHER is outside the terms of the manufacturer's instructions - incapacitation?) for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
