She came to see you too much to this institution for 34 disabled adults with intellectual disabilities. Down these corridors she sold residence tied up and imprisoned. Around this room 8 people were kept in 5 chambers made of plexiglas with metal frames. She showed me pictures shed taken when she came here she was told people were knocked up when they were agitated. In these cages you cannot have access to a toilet or a water. She saw these dormitories this shower room where residents were washed down with a hose. Once in the washroom the residence with a hole is exactly this is what i believe all around the rest exactly. There was no kitchen in this place say plates were washed in the same shallow as. On a sole residence tied to beds. In this room she was told a man was brought after a medical examination under this sheet georgianna so that the resident was tied. The staff told us that he is very sick and he cannot speak and he has his hands and his fate tied to the beds.

In the county of alt a staff member is filmed physically and verbally abusing a 9 year old girl. To encourage their own county further allegations that youngsters in centers were virtually physically and sexually abused. Reports about medication this year the use of sedation in Children Centers around romania.

Its fair go for the sun always a bit better that they get on with that. In fact the right of disabled people to live independently is a key e. U. Policy and im like 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 renovate some places like this and the county. 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 focus of the looting. We challenged 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 settle before. Returning to remain here this year we uncovered further evidence on e. U. Money and allegations of human rights abuses. In the county of simu an institution for children and young people with a range of disability isms needs when stories began circulating here that sex traffickers were preying on vulnerable girls georgianna pascual try to find out. There were 2 interviews with children in that but the core orphan age that though some of the. Girls did they just are involved in prostitution Human Trafficking against their will. At the time the e. U. And the remaining with merit is planning a Huge Investment in the. Disturbed by what she was hearing georgiana published a report in 2014 detailing concerns. Nevertheless even faster. And in 2015 the refurbished building was forming a. Huge sums of e. U. Money was spent on medications here seen in this footage supplied by a visitor. 3 years later a man was convicted of trafficking in c. P. U. We understand prosecutors evidence included testimony that a trafficker 1st approached girls in the institution asking 2011 u. Of origin has told us the girls were trafficking 2012 after they left turn a russian. In january this year georgiana confronted an e. U. Official about the funding of 10 a russian she says the officials any response was to suggest the remain in government right about it but its something that i hope you call usefulness legalising if you want rights abuses against people with disabilities rumanian government didnt respond to requests for a written statement on issues raised in all. But rumania is not the only european country where there are deep concerns about disabled people and Human Rights Violations in state institutions. Our 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 the past. 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 cage 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 stand that there is this is a young man actually with Downs Syndrome is legs. Very skinny this all suggests that he doesnt move very. And this is someone tied 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 staff would tie his leg to the radiator and then finally this image you found i thinking found this. Behind a knocking door didnt behind a locked door that had had the handle removed and which we were told there was no one inside by 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 a hunger in government for a response to allegations about Human Rights Violations which top house but received no reply so im ready its not im writing to be. So proud and it beats it being here and all circuits to really stand with those who are not with us youre a liar theyre 6 all. 6 back in brussels a key demand from demonstrating is the end to institutional state. And 2 i. I was. A. Navy offices if you European Commission a symbolic protest about European Union money to institution. That you might. Then a development the European Commission director comes to see what this protest is a word about a cunt 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 be 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 that cooled small group aims seen as an alternative to knowledge 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 Eastern European state run caverns in these cages you can not have access to toilets or water and the bureaucratic indifference to their plight she has his hands and his fates tied to the beds 5 years off to fast highlighting such abuses people in power returns with a 2 part investigation to continuing mistreatment and neglect europes recurring shame hard to on aljazeera reporting in the field means i often get to witness not just the news as a breaking but also history as its unfolding crossing from serbia into hungary the refugee there might be covering politics of angel in the next i might become like protests. Whats most important to me just talking to people understanding what theyre going through so that i can convey the headlines in the most human way cost.
