A few months ago, we explored the realities of human rights advocacy, global mental health research, and critiques of punitive psychiatry. Featuring speakers like David Matas J.D., Professors Derek Summerfield, Hel Spandler, Dr. Dainius Puras, and Sarah Smith, we cut through the complexities of topics such as forced organ harvesting in China and the urgent need to reform mental health approaches in conflict zones. Our speakers courageously tackle the risks involved, including backlash, legal challenges, and increased surveillance, as they openly challenge established practices—highlighting how psychiatry is wielded as a tool to silence dissenters in despotic regimes and, elsewhere in the world, through extrajudicial actions and corruption. Join us for an insightful journey, exploring narratives that bring attention to the stark realities of human rights and mental health advocacy.
