October 29, 2014 - Disability Rights International (DRI) filed a case today in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States (OAS) on behalf of people with disabilities detained in Guatemala's Federico Mora psychiatric institution.
"Federico Mora is the most violent and dangerous facility we've discovered anywhere in the Americas," said DRI Executive Director Eric Rosenthal. "We are fighting to protect the 340 children and adults detained at Federico Mora - and institutions like this throughout the Americas."
