In fact the right of disabled people to live independently is a key e. U. Policy unlike other member countries rumania has received millions in aid from the European Union for its disabled citizens. But 5 years ago we revealed how some of this money had been spent not to close institutions and remaining but to relief age from places like this and the county of. We also revealed a scandal that European Union funding had pooled in to remain in institutions like time tarver where there were allegations of serious human rights abuses. A little bit a little earlier the bulk of the looting. We challenge to an e. U. Commissioner is there a concern that is structural funds have gone into institutions in romania whether have been human rights abuses. We have no evidence if theres any evidence we will certainly follow up. Returning to remain here this year we uncovered further evidence on e. U. Money and allegations of human rights abuses. Turn a russian in the county of sinew an institution that children and young people with a range of disability and needs. When stories began circulating here that sex traffickers were preying on vulnerable girls georgianna pascual try to find out.

And the remaining with more it is planning a Huge Investment in a little. Disturbed by what she was hearing georgianna published a report in 2014 detailing concerns. Nevertheless Investment Funds flowed in and in 2015 the refurbished building was forming a. Huge sums of e. U.

In january this year georgiana confronted an e. U. Official about the funding of 10 a russian she says the officials only response was to suggest the remaining in government right about it but. Something like you know peer usefulness legalizing human rights abuses against people with disabilities rumanian government didnt respond to requests for a written statement on issues raised in our phone. But rumania is not the only european country where there are deep concerns about disabled people and Human Rights Violations in state institutions. An investigation next took us to hungary another country in receipt of millions an easy way for disabled people. This is an institution called top half an hours drive from hundreds capital passion. Whats happened here has led to serious questions about the e. U. s response when there are allegations of abuse. In footage filmed inside the institution 2 years ago a disabled boy is trapped beneath his claim. That images change the treatment of other young people. Stephen allen from the ngo validity told me what they found when they visited top us in 2017 this is a young woman who we were told was placed in this case for her own safety she has epilepsy it was really horrible a shocking thing to see and keeping people in cages of course absolutely contravenes every human rights that there is this is a young man actually with Downs Syndrome is legs. Very skinny this all suggests that he doesnt move very much. And this is someone tied in radiator tied to a pipe this is a completely unlawful form of restraint where this young man was known to be particularly active able to move around and so what we understand stuff would tie his leg to the radiator and then finally this image you found i think you found. Behind a knocking door didnt you behind a locked door that had had the handle removed which we were told there was no one inside to buy stuff he was standing in the middle of the room rocking making really distressed sounds it was extremely extremely distressing sight. Stephen allens engineer discovered tom had received funding from the European Union. When we have ensured got a response over a year later the commissions reply was that this is not our responsibility this is the responsibility of hungary now we say that is incorrect both legally but also morally doesnt mean to say that we would let hungary off the hook either they both need to answer for this but its unacceptable and unsustainable frankly for the commission simply to say its not its not up to us go. We asked to hungary in government for a response to allegations about Human Rights Violations which top house but received no reply. Was that its not im reading to be. So proud and it beats it being here and also look its really sad but those who are not with us youre a liar theyre all. 6 back in brussels a key demand from demonstrating is the end to institutional state. And 2 i. Was it. Was. The offices of a European Commission a symbolic protest about European Union money to institutional. Setting like. I den and development the European Commission director comes to see what this protest is a one about a town painted. I then asked about human rights abuses. Here except that there are pieces inside institutions but one is gone and i wouldnt go that much details because i try to secure that wherever its actually thats. The dissenters on it is that simple that those abuses take place absolutely i would say of course its on the sex of absolute there except the from the human rights point to for a period between to see whats the European Commission is going to do but now we are in a quite interesting stage because we are just conducting the negotiations for the future for syria i think this is important that this is important that people also with this ability to speak about it. In part to this investigation we return to the European Commission for a further interview with further questions. We traveled to bug area code up as a model for how even Funding Companies institutions and help disabled people live independently. This was a huge lie people never gain the control of their lives millions in weight has poured into a new model of living for disabled children youngsters and adults their cooled small group aims seen as an alternative to large institutions of the past we expose the reality is inside them that weve seen is the perpetuation of neglect abuse and segregation that is human lives throughout it. The shocking treatment of disabled people in rumanian state run care homes in these cages who cannot have access to a toilet or water institutions funded by the European Union he has his hands and his fates tied to the bed 5 years after highlighting these abuses people in power returns to romania and a 2 part series and discovers the scandal runs further afield europes recurring shame on aljazeera i thought this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of tonic billeted if you can give them the opportunity it wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest situations all the most impact for you that it is not yet that you may know. The main things that sets out 0 apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people not about ideas or politicians or what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people its ok its ok its ok to get a little more complicated operations probably if this is not an act of creation i mean i dont know if the office of the work youre doing here is amazing but there are so many fossils and it feels like this is just a dent what was your relationship with joe not normal or ok to suddenly become doesnt like this job isnt just about whats on a script or a piece of paper its about whats happening right now.
