On February 28, 2023, the CRJ notified the Chuke government

  • We note with concern that no authority is investigating the causes that led to the violations reported by the CRJ and, as a result, preventing future abuses. Under these conditions, the CRJ asked the leadership of the Government of Romania to undertake the investigation and prevention of other human rights violations in social assistance centers, homes for the elderly, medical and social centers and psychiatric hospitals.
