Awards Presented
Standing in stark contrast to psychiatry’s darkly stained foundations were those individuals acknowledged during the evening with CCHR’s International Human Rights Award for perseverance in exposing human rights violations.
Christine Hahn, journalist with Brabant Newspapers of Ontario, Canada, was presented with the award by Purcell for her investigation of a scam involving abuse and brokering of brain injured patients between Canada and the United States. Prior to Hahn’s investigation, abuses reported by patients — such as being slammed into furniture, pulled by the hair, and needlessly restrained by psychiatric staff — had been dismissed as psychotic ramblings.
“When I first started writing about brain injury patients in 1996, I thought the story was about one patient and one hospital. I could not have been more wrong,” Hahn said. “It was a multi-billion dollar cross border psychiatric industry created to take advantage of the most vulnerable people in our society.”
