i'm travelling in the county of madam or ash with human rights lawyer georgiana paskin and she got in touch to tell me about a disturbing discovery she made here just this september. she came to see too much to this institution for 34 disabled adults with intellectual disabilities. down these corridors she sold residence tied up and imprisoned. around this room 8 people were kept in 5 chambers made of plexiglas with metal frames. she showed me pictures she'd taken when she came here she was told people will not top when they were agitated.

in these cages you cannot have access to a toilet or a water. she saw these dormitories this shower room where residents were washed down with a hose. once in the washroom the residence with a hole is exactly this is what it is all around the wrist exactly. there was no kitchen in this place say plates were washed in the same shower as. on a sole residence tied to beds. in this room she was told a man was brought after a medical examination under this sheet georgianna so that the resident was tied. the staff told us that he is very sick and he cannot speak and he has his hands and his fates tied to the bed. georgiana made an urgent complaint

about the treatment of people here. 3 weeks later well with her as she tries to find out what's happened since. we were told of plexiglass cages had gone and we saw them dismantled. so had there been a real change in approach air we were told some residents had been moved to this state pay and we weren't allowed in but speaking from behind the gate one of the workers told georgianna wife the food cages are still necessary for disabled people here. the best. regards to. what it got for the start plus or. what. we then heard the view of management about sick you don't disabled people this man is chief of institutions in secret too much he told us something he calls

an isolation chambers could still be needed. for people with disabilities in the future. these october unofficial reports need new homes will be created for disabled people . under 2 forages had acquired approved a means of containment a system of immobilization of arms to the bed. in response to our questions. said residents were put in isolated on the recommendation of a specialist doctor when people will self destructive for aggressive and paste a serious threat to themselves and others they said since residents were really hated accommodation and staffing had improved every time when i have to stake

a bald place an evil mania i have to stick about neglect and abuse i feel ashamed to be our last. but it's not as if these abuses have gone unreported over the past 5 years there have been a plethora of reports from around this country about the treatment of disabled people in a state home in bucharest a deaf boy is left tied to a door. in the county of alt a staff member is filmed physically and verbally abusing a 9 year old girl. to encourage the other in county further allegations that youngsters in centers were virtually physically and sexually abused. reports about medication this year the use of sedation in children centers around romania. i don't think that now the main problem is in the

way it is the lack of money and the lack of resources all i want is that. it's the lack of understanding. so why are abuses continuing in this country. the journey in the transylvanian mountains heading to the county of superior. on fire is take us here to an institution near the town of tal much to. the conditions for some disabled people here though and over the past year. in the grounds a resident whose hands are tied. this is privilege and one where over 40 severely disabled residents with intellectual disabilities with the surroundings are bleak

the center. in the meantime vasily now blind has been brought back to term i choose to live in pavilion one the same place where he was attacked but his sister still wants her questions answered about why this brutal assault could have happened. or the more you open the bottle with the other. kids but also the bulk of the america. and for the most common not as moment of ammonia. when i see it with you. up to. super insulin or the thing. is. that your. arm doesn't need to fall over it's a lot of warming up just the persona. for obama to turn for

institutions and remaining but to relief aid from places like this and the county judge. we also revealed a scandal that european union funding had pooled in to remain in institutions like time tarver where there were allegations of serious human rights abuses. a little bit a little earlier the focus of the looting. we challenged an e.u. commissioner is there a concern that structural funds have gone into institutions in romania whether have been human rights abuses. we have no evidence if there's any evidence we will circle it for. returning to remain here this year we uncovered further evidence on e.u. money and allegations of human rights abuses. turn

a russian in the county of sinew an institution that children and young people with a range of disabilities and needs. when stories began circulating here that sex traffickers were preying on vulnerable girls georgianna pascall try to find out. there were. interviews with children in that but the core awfully though some of the. girls did they just are involved in prostitution human trafficking against their will. at the time the e.u. and the remaining authorities are planning a huge investment in a little. disturbed by what she was hearing georgianna published a report in 2014 detailing concerns. nevertheless investment funds flowed in and in 2015 the refurbished building was for me a. huge sums of e.u.

money was spent on going to ration here seen in this footage supplied by a visitor. 3 years later a man was convicted of trafficking in c.p.u. we understand prosecutors evidence included testimony that a trafficker 1st approached girls in the institution asking 2011 new for it is told us the girls were trafficking 2012 after they left turn a russian. in january this year georgiana confronted an e.u. official about the funding of 10 a russian she says the officials only response was to suggest the remaining in government right about it but. something like your peer called usefulness legalizing human rights abuses against people with disabilities rumanian government didn't respond to requests for

a written statement on issues raised in our phone. but rumania is not the only european country where there are deep concerns about disabled people and human rights violations in state institutions. an investigation next took us to hungary another country in receipt of millions in a wait for disabled people. this is an institution called top half an hour's drive from hundreds capital the past. what's happened here has led to serious questions about the e.u.'s response when there are allegations of abuse. in footage filmed inside the institution 2 years ago a disabled boy is trapped beneath his claim.

that images change the treatment of other young people. stephen ireland from the ngo validity told me what they found when they visited top us in 2017 this is a young woman we were told was placed in this cage for her own safety she has epilepsy it was really horrible a shocking thing to see in and keeping people in cages of course absolutely contravenes every human rights stand that there is this is a young man actually with down's syndrome is legs of very skinny this all suggests that he doesn't move very large. and this is someone tied radiator tied to a pipe this is a completely unlawful form of restraint where this young man was known to be particularly active able to move around and so what we understand staff would tie his leg to the radiator and then finally this image you found i think you found.

behind a knocking door didn't you behind a locked door that had had the handle removed and which we were told there was no one inside to buy stuff he was standing in the middle of the room rocking making really distressed sounds it was extremely extremely distressing sight. stephen allen's engineer discovered tom had received funding from the european union. when we have got a response over a year later the commission's reply was that this is not our responsibility this is the responsibility of hungary now we say that is incorrect both legally but also morally doesn't mean to say that we would let hungary off the hook either they both need to answer for this but it's unacceptable and unsustainable frankly for the commission simply to say it's not it's not up to our scope. we asked the hunger

in government for a response to allegations about human rights violations which top house but received no reply was that it's not i'm writing to be. so proud and it beats it being here and also extremely sad for those who are not with us you're a liar their world. back in brussels a key demand from demonstrating is the end to institutional state. and . i. was it. was. the offices of the european commission a symbolic protest about european union money to institutions.

that you might come up i den and development the european commission direct economists to see what this protest is a worry about at home painted. i then asked about human rights abuses. you know except that there are pieces inside institutions but only one is gone and i wouldn't go that much details because it strikes occurred that there ever was actually that's really good isn't it on a sensible that there's abuses take place absolutely i would say of course it's on the sex of absolute there except the different human rights for you for your victory so what's the european commission is going to do but now we are in a quite interesting stage because we are just conducting the negotiations for the future for syria i think this is important that this is important that people also with this ability to speak about it. in part to this investigation we return to the european commission for a further interview with further questions. we traveled to bug area code up as

a model for how even funding companies institutions and help disabled people live independently. this was a huge lie people never gained the control of their lives millions in weight has poured into a new model of living for disabled children youngsters and adults their cooled small group aims seen as an alternative to large institutions of the past we expose the reality is inside them that we've seen is the perpetuation of neglect abuse and segregation that is human lives throughout it. from ancient emperors to communist leaders. age old philosophies and the rule
