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 here is the lack of money and the lack of resources all what is the point. is the lack of understanding. so why are abuses continuing in this country. transylvanian mountains heading to the county of soup you. on fire is take us here to an institution near the town of tal much to. the conditions for some disabled people here burned over the past year. in the grounds a resident whose hands are tied. this is privilege and one where over 40 severely

to come to be ensure the integrity in safety of the other institutionalized beneficiaries they also said that the center does not employ a medical specialist which is why restraint procedures have never been employed by the center. in the meantime vasily now blind has been brought back to term matches 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. sooner. or the more you open the bottle with the other. kids but also the bulk of the all married. and for the most common not as moment romagna risk when is it would seem. up to. super insulin or the thing. is. that your.

from the european union for its disabled citizens. but 5 years ago we revealed how some of this money had been spent not to close institutions and remaining but to really fades 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 target 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 for 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 pascual 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 the. 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 forming a. huge sums of e.u. money was spent on medications 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 u. of origin has 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 any response was to suggest the remaining government write about it in. something like your peers call 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 allen from the ngo validity told me what they found when they visited top us in 2017 this is a young woman who 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. 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 stuff would tie his leg to the radiator and then finally this image you found i think you found this. 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 ensured 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 us go. we asked a hunger in government for a response to allegations about human rights violations which top house but received no reply so i'm ready i'm not i'm ready to be. so proud and happy to be here and all circuits to really stand with those who are not with us you're a liar they're all. back in brussels a key demand from demonstrating is the end to institutional state. i . was a. good. movie offices of the european

commission a symbolic protest about european union money to institutions. that you might. then a development the european commission director comes to see what this protest is a word about a cunt painted. i then asked about human rights abuses. here except that there are pieces inside institutions but only one is gone and i wouldn't go that much details because i try to secure that wherever it's 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 a different human rights group for your beat me to say what's the european commission is going to do but now we are in a quite interesting stage because we're just conducting the negotiations for the future for syria this is important that this is important that people also be 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 travelled 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 it will never gain the control of their lives millions in weight has poured into a new model of living for disabled children youngsters and adults there cooled small planes seen as an alternative to knowledge institutions of the past we expose the reality is inside from what we've seen is the perpetuation of neglect abuse and segregation that is human lives throughout it.
