Human rights abused on mental health wards
In Britain, most of these violent and restrictive practices occur on mental health wards. Those affected are hidden away, their families on a seemingly never-ending search for justice. Kyle*, a teenager, was pounced upon by at least seven men in an incident in 2015. They tackled him to the floor. A large man straddled his back, his hands squashing Kyle’s face onto the rough carpet. With his body crushed, he gasped for air. The other men trapped his legs and arm in place using their knees, while another yanked his arm across his back, which made Kyle howl in pain.
