Mental Disability Rights International (MDRI) and the Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL) are seeking the urgent intervention of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to prevent continued unlawful acts that threaten the rights to life, liberty and personal security of two boys, Jorge, age 18, and Julio, age 17, and 458 others detained in the Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital of Paraguay. The two boys are detained in approximately six-by-six feet isolation cells, naked, and without access to bathrooms. According to hospital staff, the boys have been detained in these conditions for the past four years.
