is resting at home, but was forced to be bundled by the mental hospital staff and wanted to be sent to the hospital. The "mentally ill" person in the middle of Ji'nan city took the psychiatric hospital and his wife to the court. In the first instance, the people's Court of Ji'nan Municipality decided that the mental hospital should compensate the plaintiff for the mental injury consolation by 5000 yuan on the grounds of violating the personal liberty of the citizen. This is the first ruling case in which the citizen was treated as a psychotic patient.
in March 9, 2010, Li Yuan (the pseudonym) wife Lv Xiufang (pseudonym) to a psychiatric hospital in Ji'nan called her husband has a mental illness, and for her husband in hospital procedures, pay 3000 yuan in hospital deposit. On the second day, 4 staff members of the mental hospital took a taxi to Li Yuan family to take him to the hospital for treatment. Because Li refused to go, and strongly resisted, the mental hospital staff took the binding way with restraint, take it out of the house, and put it into a taxi to the hospital. In this process, Li Yuan resisted and drew some masses to look around. After Lv Xiufang telephoned the police and the police arrived at the scene, the mental hospital staff untied the binding belt binding Li Yuan.
since then, Li Yuan brought the mental hospital and his wife to the court. The court held that, without legal procedures, any unit and individual should not deprive of the personal freedom of others, even if it was a mental patient or a suspected mental patient. The court sentenced the mental hospital to compensate Li Yuan for mental damage by 5000 yuan. At present, this decision has come into force.
"from the national perspective, mental hospitals should be treated in a very few cases." The presiding judge of the case said, however, according to the law, only the public security organs have the right to restrict personal freedom. If a mental hospital can arbitrarily treat patients, then every one of us may face the danger of being mentally ill.
the main trial judge believes that our country should push forward the introduction of the mental health law and set up a specialized agency to discriminate and examine suspected mental patients. This institution should be the third party independent of the psychiatric hospital, through legislation, and endow it with the public security organs to administer the power of the mentally ill.
