We would reproduce a press release from the Information Group Asylum indicating the type of actions it is important to conduct systematic on individual freedoms and proves they can successfully bring about change:
Press. Paris, October 17, 2006.
PSYCHIATRIC NURSING OF THE PREFECTURE OF POLICE OF PARIS (IPPP): AN AREA OF NOT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE CAPITAL!
Audience GIA C / Prefect of Police in Paris, Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 9:30 am, Room No. 2, the Administrative Tribunal of Paris, 7, rue de Jouy, 75004 Paris, Metro: St Paul.
By order dated 07.18.2002 following a trial in closing that place of confinement Psychiatric very special and very secret of Paris brought by the Group Information Asylums, the Prefect of Paris Police endowed the IPPP a charter home and a new rules, already in the text more consistent with those old 1873 (foundation of a special deposit the Insane) and following the current provisions on interim measures of internment Office. However, no one since the summer of 2002 we have been informed and having had to deal with a transfer in this "sick" does this charter was awarded home (though necessarily discount from the text cited above), nor was notified or informed of their rights ...
For administrative appeal of 03/17/2003, the GIA asked the Prefect of Paris Police to amend this charter home so as to make possible the presence of a lawyer from any person confined to the IPPP is welcome. The Prefect of Police refused this request by letter dated April 30, 2003 based on the fact that the provisional measures do integrating psychiatric internment not strictly speaking, he had nothing of the kind of defense rights to be respected. However, Article of the Code of Public Health, which legalized the provision of temporary involuntary hospitalization is integrated into the chapter on the involuntary and therefore is embodied in the law that legislates the psychiatric ... Group Information Asylums sought annulment of this refusal by motion filed before the Administrative Tribunal of Paris, June 26, 2003. The parties have maintained their means, the case is called at the hearing tribunal of Paris, October 25th at 9:30. We invite the media to cover this hearing.
Indeed, the case of the existence of the IPPP be no shortage of scandalous. Besides the fact that this place of confinement prior to a psychiatric hospital since 1961 is built on land belonging to the psychiatric hospital Ste Anne, 3, rue Cabanis, 75014 (the entrance of the CH Ste Anne is at 1 rue Cabanis ) and the Ste Anne landowner to claim the body and cry for the return of his land to the Prefecture of Police in Paris which does not deign to run can not be expelled by itself ... this place is supposed to be just a place for medical examination that a psychiatric sentencing or not, is actually an authentic place of detention of persons whose time course does not exceed 48 hours, that is to say the duration of police custody health, but where people are referred locked in their cells, exposed and in pajamas or nightgown, and to some battered , tied up, médiquées Psychiater force, could not leave for their natural needs, and even then he beat the door of the cell of a fifteen minutes to half an hour to get there. Therefore a place of confinement without any rights to defense of persons held in custody at a police station, where people are transferred for reasons as simple as light nuisance to neighbors sometimes not even based, with such a different vigil as public institution, or a spat of a patient with a psychiatric care team refusing him access to therapy ... etc..
Note that no other city in France is endowed with such a structure, interim measures prior to a psychiatric hospital being performed. But Paris has a separate status, the Police may have their hands on psychiatric hospitalization even free, since some people who are referred to the IPPP is then sent in their area psychiatric facility under free diet (free hospitalization Hospitalization is a common law non-custodial) or at the request of one third, or even out free. See also the constant requisitions of IPPP as towards the Ste Anne other structures Psychiatric Paris, claiming their reports on individual patient can be followed by contract, in full violation of medical confidentiality and patient rights and have been reaffirmed by the Act of March 4, 2002. In Paris Prefecture de Police de Paris plans, and denounce the amount of hospital psychiatrists and patients' associations, have the grip on the psychiatric care of people through its very special hospital ... in which no journalist in this day n 'could not penetrate nor of course do any reporting. Only those having been referred are able to attest, and able to speak.
