RESTORING DIGNITY
TO THE FIELD OF MENTAL HEALTH
For more than 50 years, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) has protected individuals around the world from abusive and coercive practices in the field of mental health.
Mobilizing for People’s Protection.
CCHR deploys high-impact traveling exhibits across four continents to expose the many abuses of the psychiatric industry. Over the last four years alone, CCHR enlightened another person every 20 seconds, ultimately exposing more than 50 million individuals to the horrors of psychiatry.

Eradicating Psychiatric Abuse in the Name of Human Rights.
CCHR has been working for decades to close a glaring gap in the European Convention on Human Rights, a seminal document signed after World War II, that led to involuntary commitment of patients and the spread of coercive psychiatry.
After years of reporting on psychiatric abuse in a total of 18 nations, CCHR received a formal invitation to a first-ever UN Consultation on Human Rights in Mental Health. CCHR presented expert testimony, vehemently calling for a ban on “coercion and the deprivations of liberty in mental health.” When the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights put the mental health mandate before the UN Human Rights Council, the result heralded a sea change to preserve and protect human rights in the field of mental health.
The UN officially decreed:
“Coercive and involuntary treatment are outdated, ineffective and incompatible with human rights.”
“All nations should cancel forced institutionalization.”
“All nations should end involuntary treatment.”
“The creation of new psychiatric hospitals is prohibited.”
JAPAN
Exposing Psychiatry in the Land of the Rising Sun.
In a land where psychiatrists hid their crimes behind the proverb “See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil,” Yuzuru Ogura shattered the silence and exposed their secrets. He uncovered the scam of “polypharma”—suicide-inducing overprescription of psychotropic drugs. Yuzuru secured severe penalties against the practice, ultimately helping reduce nationwide suicide rates by 34 percent. Subsequently, Yuzuru exposed criminal abuse in psychiatric hospitals, invoking laws protecting patients and whistle-blowers and guaranteeing psychiatric abuse will forever be seen, heard and spoken of in Japan.
By Japanese law, any patient abuse uncovered in psychiatric hospitals must be reported immediately.
BRINGING HUMAN RIGHTS
TO LIFE
The Church of Scientology has long championed the cause of freedom for all. To that end, it sponsors one of the world’s most far-reaching human rights education and public information initiatives, United for Human Rights, and, for young people, Youth for Human Rights.
Human Rights Education on a Global Scale.
In the last four years, United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights marked milestones, having now educated more than 41 million about their inalienable rights.
