Vitebsk doctor Igor Postnov afraid that it may be re- directed to compulsory treatment. He said in a video posted on youtube.com: « According to the well-wishers, I learned that an attempt can be repeated. Comes the end of the year, summarizing the activities of our governor and the farming area. And with preventive purposes, there is such information, will retry my premises in a mental hospital. Perhaps the last time you see me in the minds and healthy. That is why, overcoming fear, I decided to ask again. "
Postnov also makes accusations against local officials and police officers, who, he said, struggling with the dissenters: " The whole area is transformed into one big ward number 6," whose inhabitants are " fed and watered, but deprived of basic human rights," says the doctor Vitebsk.
"I can not remain silent. If you do not stop this mechanism, then the next time I just will not be released, turn into a vegetable. It is now our political police intimidates all who participated in my defense, "- explained the appearance of his Postnov video message.
On the eve of recording a new video message to his compatriots Dr. Igor Postnov appealed to the Supreme Court. He is trying to challenge the decision of the court of Vitebsk region, where in his absence and the absence of a lawyer was accepted by the forced psychiatric treatment. Appeal to the regional court and the chairman of the Regional Court did not help: there are violations of the law have not seen.
Igor Postnov said that helped him make a complaint Vitebsk human rights activist Peter Ivanov. And that the complaint stated, as during his stay in Vitebsk regional psychiatric hospital, he was kept in isolation: were banned visits, correspondence and even phone calls. Because of this, he could not tell friends about the trial, or even contact a lawyer, that he represented him. Not brought to the process in Vitebsk district court and the patient. All this said Igor Postnov violation of their rights, and therefore offers immediate changes to the law "On Mental Health Care ":
" This is not just a violation - a violation of legalized. I consider it necessary to amend the existing law on the provision of mental health care, as it gives physicians unlimited power over the patient. By order of the patient's physician alone can isolate - forbid him correspondence, all relationships, including by telephone. He can not complain of any torture on bullying, or even contact a lawyer, as happened in my case. "
Recall Igor Postnov got into a psychiatric hospital shortly after his next critical speech. In a video distributed over the Internet, he criticized the work of medical institutions, in particular, the Centre for Psychiatry and Addiction, where he worked narcologists. Postnov talked about rastranzhirovanii budget coding of alcohol at public expense, about the disastrous state of Vitebsk hospitals that are not repaired for years. For this tutorial center Psychiatry and Addiction upbraid him for his " unethical behavior."
Dr. Postnov disagree with him put a psychiatric diagnosis " paranoid personality disorder by type." He would like to have an independent survey of other professionals and not from his colleagues Vitebsk. He was convinced that it was applied punitive psychiatry - known since the Soviet era means to combat dissent:
"Under such a diagnosis can bring anything. See flaws around - so you have paranoia ; suppose that he was in a psychiatric hospital for criticism - then you have a persecution complex ; criticize executive committee chairman or his superiors - then you have high self-esteem.. And so on and so forth! And all this - the grounds for the hospital with a " worsening of the disease." And on the same bed in a madhouse, where I visited, it may be one - politician, human rights activist and journalist. Or an ordinary person who wants to declare someone incompetent corrupt purposes. So I 'm trying to defend their rights violated, to let everyone know: I could not intimidate. However, I do not want to use the same methods to intimidate others. "
