Prize-winning
competition to find
an appropriate slogan to criminalize all those who work in a locked
psychiatric ward after 1/1/2009!

From
1/1/2009 onwards, most countries will ratify* the UN
convention of the rights of persons with disabilities,
which prohibits the deprivation of liberty and bodily harm also of people
who are slandered as being “mentally ill”.

We
take it for granted that in these countries, according
to the UN-Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights,
the mental health laws allowing the use of force will become illegal
and therefore from 1/1/2009 the violent acts of the psychiatric staff
and all others who work in a locked psychiatric ward become a crime
and these people should therefore be declared to be criminals.

But this explanation is too long and complicated. We in IAAPA therefore
suggest to campaign now against those criminals and at the same time
inform the public about the issue by a public competition for such a
slogan:

1st
Prize: 100 Euros, 2nd Prize: 70 Euros, 3rd Prize: 40 Euros
