disproportionate and constitute an unacceptable threat to the stability of the region burnitz an al-jazeera doris armenia human rights watch says hundreds of thousands of people across the globe who suffer from mental health conditions are imprisoned against their will human rights watch estimates 792000000 people suffer from poor psychological health that number includes one in 5 children in government spend less than 2 percent of their health budgets on mental services as a result families can shackle their own relatives often one person might run away or hurt themselves rights group is calling on countries to ban this practice reduce stigma and provide affordable treatment create a sharma is the author of the report from human rights watch she explains how a lack of awareness on mental health can be problematic. in many countries there's a lack of awareness of mental health and people believe that

a mental health condition is the result of being possessed being bewitched or having sinned and so their 1st port of call is traditionally a feat he does they only seek mental health services as a last resort one of the people we met had even gone to over 100 feet healing institutions so when families don't find a solution up bush to make this choice it's not an easy decision for a family member to take and it's happening in 60 countries across religions. groups culture does ethnicities it's a widespread practice that's an open secret in many communities it's not simply about reporting mechanisms it's really about tackling the stick mind the community because very often whether it's in government or in the police or local or parties people still are embedded with the same stigma that see people with mental health

conditions as been bewitched all you know potentially you know being aggressive and so they resort to chaining so i think for governments it's urgent to address and come back stigma why providing mental health services and oversight. it's been almost a year since human rights organizations issued scathing reports of abuse by chill a security forces the un's high commissioner for human rights in the region is stopping short of accusing police of systematic abuses of civilians but it says profound reforms are urgently needed the syrian human reports from santiago. it took only a 2nd a special forces policeman appearing to hurl a 16 year old student protester over this bridge 7 and a half meters down into the river the youths survived but the alleged culprit has been charged with attempted homicide and other officers who were trying to cover it

up but the timing couldn't have been worse. if someone did not respect the will or should of course be sanctioned accordingly but the support for our police force is key especially because we need peace in all countries for october the 25th. the interior minister is referring to this month's constitutional referendum but the protests are already heating up ahead of october 18th the day that marks the start of last year's social uprising. it's led to thousands of charges of brutality on the part of riot police this is the bridge from where the demonstrator was hauled into the river last friday and despite a state of emergency that's been called because of a pandemic which forbids demonstrations there have been nearly daily protests ever since but the public outrage is also being fueled by what is widely regarded as sweeping impunity. deliberately kill me and we'll see

a model or shouting democracy cannot survive with so much impunity. there among the $450.00 chileans who were injured in one or both eyes by riot police shooting pellets or tear gas canisters often at point blank range over that hero a matter tells us he was trying. the helper tester who was being beaten by police when he was shot this july kalmus says many are now suffering from untreated depression and panic attacks a professor at us i suffered an eye injury and fracture of my skull and i was told . i was a qualified welder now i can't support my family to stay as abandon us in terms of promise health care and in terms of justice. to his institute for human rights says that the vast majority of cases of violations committed by security forces remain unpunished of the $2500.00 cases of abuses presented by the institute including sexual assaults torture and murder only $32.00 officers have so far been officially

charged. the government must take firm action to ensure effective reform of the police institution as well as substantially increase the budget of the deuce reprints so it can do its job unfortunately i don't see the political will. it's a vicious circle at a time when trust in chilis institutions is added distorted know the going abuses are likely to fuel just more social unrest you see illumine al jazeera sent out. now one of the greatest guitarists of all time eddie van halen has died at the age of $65.00. his son says it's been all day long and arduous battle with cancer the band van halen is among the top 20 best selling artists it was inducted into the rock

n roll hall of fame in 2007 let's bring in news ition will maggard from oakland in california good to have you with us so he has many achievements many talents what do you think you'll be most remembered for. well it's a great question you know eddie van halen is considered from up there with jimi hendrix amongst the. rock guitar gods most influential rock a taurus i think the main technical innovation that educated him and did that very few people done before him was he played the guitar almost like a piano you know he did the finger tapping on the song eruption with classical virtue all city and the soul of blues music and that that really set virtue ossie at a high level amongst guitarists from from then from then on. i think bringing his signature charisma into that as well you know that combination of blues music and and his

liveliness all all really what will live a strong legacy playing a guitar like a piano playing almost any instrument but not being able to read music in no sense was sometimes a contradiction yes yeah it's very true but you know he was one of the one of the great musicians and i think something that all great musicians have in common is that they play from from their heart and play from their soul and they play what they hear. they are searching for a sound and he achieved that very successfully throughout his career how did he then shape the world of music especially rockwell how does he leave behind him a very change seen. yeah absolutely well you know one thing. that i think a lot of people don't know about eddie taylor headland it's in addition to creating these new techniques on the guitar he also innovated. inventions he actually

partnered with the hard manufacturers to create new guitars and even guitars that angled in certain ways you could even more successfully play them in this very fast very virtuous way i think i think he brought. the essence of classical music in into iraq you know he even named his son wolfgang after you know after the great composer so i i. i think he he really left. world with this sense that anything's possible that it's not just dance music it's not just fun party music that it's it's something where. the threshold is ever changing in an ever evolving and and i think people are continuing to push to push the threshold of of. city in his honor and briefly how much of his posts in the journey was. being an immigrant from holland bright you know yeah

he talks about this at all like you know the american dream is possible you know he appeared in my eyes and you know he he moved to united states very very with his family with very little money just a piano in a dream and he was able to become you know rock really the epitome of a rock star. i i think. you know his personality and everything was a big part of it you know the the long hair that charisma that whole era of eighty's rock you know seventy's and eighty's rock. it was a big part of but the thing is he could back it up you know a lot of guys are imitators they they could play a few licks like you said. all right thanks so much well great thank you. thank you.
