SAMPLE LETTER – FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS:

Dear ____________

I am writing to urge your government to take immediate action to end
human rights abuses against children and adults in orphanages
and other institutions for people with disabilities. The human rights violations described by Sarah Ferguson and Mental Disability Rights International (MDRI) should not be tolerated in any country. Every child or adult with a disability is important. They deserve proper medical care and a chance to lead a good and normal life outside of an institution. I am asking that you please fulfill the promise of your human rights policies by
protecting the human rights of all children and adults with disabilities in your institutions.

Sincerely,
[your name here]

Write to the Council of Europe asking them to hold the governments of Romania and Turkey accountable for these abuses:nia and Turkey accountable for these abuses:

NOTE: To help MDRI track international response to our action appeals, we ask that you send a copy of all letters to us at communications@mdri.org
