Notre compte-rendu: buff.ly/vdPGVNQ

« L’ONU a publié un rapport accablant critiquant le traitement des personnes en situation de handicap au Canada ainsi que l’élargissement de l’aide médicale à mourir.
Qu’avait le Canada à répondre pour se défendre?
Presque rien. »

Surge in actively psychotic patients held in prisons, RTÉ finds A rapid rise in numbers of acutely psychotic people in prison is deepening a crisis in psychiatric care, RTÉ Investigates finds.

Good to see the issue of disability & incarceration being examined here, but concluding that greater access to forensic detention or 'therapeutic bail' (diversion to psychiatric hospitals) is the answer is ignoring Ireland's human rights obligations under the #CRPD www.rte.ie/news/investi...

Prop. 162 L (2024-2025) fremstår som et mesterverk i å nedsnakke konvensjonens juridiske posisjon som etablerer av rettigheter for mennesker med nedsatte funksjonsevner.

I tillegg fremstilles FN- komiteen som skal overvåke statenes forhold til konvensjonen, i et lite flatterende lys.

Skjermbilde fra VG.no med overskriften «Historisk vedtak i Stortinget» om at Stortinget har stemt for å innlemme CRPD i menneskerettsloven. Under teksten står fire personer i et stort, gyllent salrom i Stortinget: Til venstre Forbundsleder i Norges Handikapforbund, Tove Linnea Brandvik i elektrisk rullestol, til høyre Fagsjef i Norsk Revmatikerforbund Anna Fryxelius i møtk dress og lilla manuell rullestol, Stortingspresident Masud Ghurakani står i midten, ikledd mørkdressmed armene rundt de to personene i rullestol. Til høyre står tidligere Oslo-ordfører Ann Marit Sæbønes. Alle smiler mot kamera. Portretter henger på veggene bak dem.

To kvinner står foran et stort, pyntet juletre i Stortingets vandrehall. Til høyre sitter Anna Fryxelius i rullestol, kledd i svart dress og hvit skjorte. Til venstre står Lilly Ann Elvestad, generalsekretær i Funksjonshemmedes Fellesorganisasjon i mørk dress. De smiler mot kamera. Over bildet ligger tekst om at Stortinget denne dagen behandler forslaget om å innlemme CRPD i menneskerettsloven. Flere Instagram-brukernavn er tagget.

Selfiebilde foran hovedinngangen til Stortinget. Til venstre er en Stortingsrepresentant Julie Stuestøl som smiler inn i kamera, og til høyre står Anna Fryxelius, også smilende, foran de store treutskårne dørene. Over bildet ligger tekst som sier at de to har hengt sammen på Stortinget denne dagen, med grønne hjerter og henvisning til arbeidet i Justiskomiteen.

Såååå dette skjedde.
