A DEMONSTRATION AND CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL TO MOURN THE LOSS OF MS. ESMIN ELIZABETH GREEN AND CONDEMN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.
 

WE THE PEOPLE Call For An End Of Abuse, Torture, And Neglect In The Wake Of Ms. Green’s Death On June 19, 2008, While Detained At Kings County Hospital Center’s Psychiatric Emergency Room.

The death of Esmin Green is indicative of a failure in the system that was supposed to be there to care for her.  The solution to protecting the lives and dignity of people with psychiatric histories is not simply to increase staff and services and/or to improve staff training.  As evidenced by Ms. Green’s death, these measures are nothing more than temporary band-aids that consistently fail.  Fully implementing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is a real solution that will promote respect, human rights, and dignity of people who have a psychiatric history.  The principles of the CRPD include respect for inherent dignity and individual autonomy including the freedom to make one’s own choices; non-discrimination; the respect for differences; and acceptance of persons with disabilities as part of human diversity and humanity.  Clearly, several articles in the CRPD contain protections that might have saved Esmin Green’s life.

Other International law has been violated as well including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention Against Torture, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.  (For more information about the CRPD and other protections see www.mindfreedom.org; www.theopalproject.org/vigil.html.)

Daniel Hazen, of the Law Project for Psychiatric Rights (PsychRights®) and Stop Force said,  “This could only happen within a system that uniformly ignores complaints of physical problems by people who have been labeled with serious mental illness.  This is particularly dangerous because of the extremely harmful nature of psychiatric drugs.  Was Ms. Green’s medical emergency in any way related to the toxic and debilitating psychiatric drugs she might have been taking, possibly through intimidation, coercion, or force?  This seems likely in light of the known connection between such drugs and fatal leg blood clots. A thorough investigation is necessary.”

The experience of involuntarily detainment in a psychiatric emergency room or in a psychiatric institution is tantamount to torture.  Human rights and feminist activist Kate Millett during the negotiations on the UN Convention on the subject of forced treatment and confinement of persons with disabilities stated, “The power of an entire civilization massed against one lone individual.  Every phone and lock and guard and drug . . . Everything conspires to make you completely alone and terrified.  Malleable.  These are the conditions of torture”.
 
David Gonzalez, founder and Senior Consultant of the Recovery x-Change and a former patient of the “G” Building at Kings County Hospital Center will be speaking at the demonstration.  Gonzalez states, “What has brought Ms. Green’s appalling death to public scrutiny is not that it was unusual or uncommon in any way, but that it was caught on video.  The lack of compassion, callous indifference, and subsequent cover-up exposes not only the hypocrisy which allows this type of systemic abuse to take place under the guise of treatment, but more importantly exposes the perversion of institutional psychiatry”.
 
On July 25, 2008, we invite all people to join us and stand united in support of the demand that everyone receive the full benefit of their human rights and the preservation of their liberty, dignity, and respect. There are vigils happening all over the world for Ms. Green on July 25, 2008 to stand in solidarity with New Yorkers.  If you can attend the vigil or not, on Friday, July 25, 2008, call Governor Patterson (518) 474-8390, Mayor Bloomberg, (212) NEW-YORK, and your elected Representatives to express your outrage about Ms. Green’s murder and insist that the City of New York stand in full compliance with International law and Human Rights.

Who: All People.

What:  A demonstration and candle light vigil to mourn the loss of Ms. Esmin Elizabeth Green and condemn human rights violations.

Why:   WE THE PEOPLE call for an end of abuse, torture, and neglect in the wake of Ms. Green’s death on June 19, 2008, while detained at Kings County Hospital Center’s Psychiatric Emergency Room.

Where: Kings County Hospital Center, Psychiatric Emergency Room, Building G. 606 Winthrop Street Brooklyn, NY 11203

Date: July 25, 2008

Time: Demonstration begins at 5 PM, Candle Light Vigil, 8:30 PM

VIGIL TO MOURN THE LOSS OF MS. ESMIN ELIZABETH GREEN AND CONDEMN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Who: All People.
 
What: Candle Light Vigil to mourn the loss of Ms. Esmin Elizabeth Green and condemn violations of human rights.
 
Why: WE THE PEOPLE call for an end of abuse, torture, and neglect in the wake of Ms. Green’s Death on June 19, 2008, while detained at Kings County Hospital Center’s Psychiatric Emergency Room.
 
Where: Kings County Hospital Center, Psychiatric Emergency Room, Building G. 606 Winthrop Street Brooklyn, NY 11203
 
Date: July 25, 2008

Time: 5 PM – 10 PM, Candle Light Vigil, 8:30 PM
 
WE THE PEOPLE Call for an End of Abuse, Torture, and Neglect in the Wake of Ms. Green’s Death While Detained at Kings County Hospital Center’s Psychiatric Emergency Room.
 
Advocates, human rights activists, and community members are holding a vigil and demonstration to mourn the death of Ms. Esmin Elizabeth Green.  WE the PEOPLE are calling attention to the reported horrific inactions and complete neglect that Ms. Green was subjected to while detained at the Kings County Hospital Center’s Psychiatric Emergency Room.
 
According to the Associated Press, after being involuntarily committed to the institution, Ms. Green sat waiting for a bed to become available for nearly 24 hours before she collapsed on to the floor.  She lay there helpless for nearly an hour until she received medical attention, which came too late[i]. Further, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union, facility staff  possibly falsified documents, stating that Ms. Green was “up and went to the bathroom” and was “’sitting quietly in the waiting room’ – more than 10 minutes after she last moved”[ii].  The surveillance tape shown on CNN Video portrays Ms. Green dying on the floor as people pass her by[iii]. In fact, on the Internet, one can find a mass of comment on this tragedy by individuals all over the world – a question repeatedly asked, “Where is the humanity?”
 
All people must be treated with dignity, humanity, and respect.  We must not tolerate violations of human rights that individuals who are assigned psychiatric labels often endure.
 
We ask you, wouldn’t you be depressed and possibly even ‘agitated’ if you were going to lose your home and employment? Reportedly, this is what led to Ms. Green’s commitment[iv]. Any one of us could be labeled with a psychiatric diagnosis and subjected to inhumane ‘treatment’ if we are thought to be ‘agitated’, particularly if we are poor. 

How many more people labeled with “mental illness” will be subjected to torture and neglect before something is done to protect human rights within psychiatric systems?  David Oaks, Executive Director of MindFreedom International states, “I encourage us all to reflect on the need for a deep nonviolent revolution in the field of mental health, far beyond the “reforms” that have gotten us to where we are today, with televised death via neglect of a mother of six”.

In 1875, a New York Times article cites abuses of inmates at the Kings County Asylum, spurred by Mr. Nelson Magee, a former inmate. Then-Commissioner Norris reacts to the investigation, “This sort of thing is very common among lunatics; they are always imagining themselves in great danger of being killed by their keepers”v.  How many more centuries have to go by before action is taken to end these abuses and neglect? 
 
WE the PEOPLE stand for change.  We have been abused by the psychiatric system. Our brothers and sisters continue to be abused and murdered, as evidenced by Ms. Green’s untimely demise. Massive human rights violations happen every day in psychiatric institutions but this horrific inaction was captured on videotape. We will call attention to the every day tortures committed in the name of psychiatric “help” including diagnosing life’s challenges as ”illness,” forced pharmaceuticals, restraint, seclusion, and electric shock treatment (ECT) with a Vigil to honor Ms. Green’s memory beginning at 5 PM.
 
There are many questions as to what led to Ms. Green’s death.  Was it in any way related to the toxic and debilitating drugs that people labeled with “mental illness” are intimidated, coerced, and forced into taking? A thorough investigation is necessary to determine the extent of the torture, ill treatment and other human rights violations involved in this case and in the practices of the institution as a whole.  We must stand united to demand social justice, equal rights, and environments free from torture and detention. 
 
On July 25, 2008, we invite all people to join us and stand united in support of the demand that everyone receive the full benefit of their human rights and the preservation of their liberty, dignity and respect.
