Patients Sue Over Psychiatric Abuse

In New Zealand, around 90 former psychiatric patients are suing the Crown [i.e., the Government], alleging they were abused during their time in hospital. They are claiming damages, saying they were sexually abused, assaulted, locked in solitary confinement and had electro-therapy used on them.

This looks like this will be a big case in New Zealand.
