Electroshock Press Releases

CCHR urges a ban be extended to all shock machines used for behavioral and mental health treatment, citing brain damage and other harms.

CCHR joins survivors of electroshock torture in NZ in condemning a very late apology issued by a psychiatric association, spanning half a century of neglecting the abuse endured. The group wants justice for victims of analogous abuse in the U.S.

Subjecting 100,000 Americans, including children, to electroshock (ECT) constitutes torture, given the risks associated with it, CCHR says.
