Disability Rights International says it has documented 'grave instances of torture and abuse' at facilities for adults and children with disabilities, where migrants deported from the U.S. are also sent.
Migrant adults and children with disabilities detained in facilities in Mexico after being deported from the U.S. face a high risk of death and torture, a new report from Disability Rights International warns.DRI sounds the alarm on how researchers uncovered"grave instances of torture and abuse" at four separate facilities in Baja California, Mexico, during trips in November 2018 and February 2019.
It is unclear whether any of the four who died were also migrants. Casa Gabriel did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The organization said staff at the institution had been told that the boy"must remain flat in his bed, except for very short periods in a chair." According to the National Migration Institute, as many as 3,000 unaccompanied migrant minors are deported every year from the U.S. to Tijuana. While most are returned to their families, some are forced to spend months in institutions while their families are being located. Others may end up staying in orphanages for years if their families cannot be found.
"According to the director of the institution, people are put in this room for days at a time while they 'detox.'" However,"the people with disabilities were not 'detoxing,' they were just locked up there for no apparent reason."
