COMMISSION TO EXAMINE STATE OF CARE FOR DISABLED IN
ROMANIA
(Washington) – Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Rep.
Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ), Chairman and Co-Chairman respectively of the
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki Commission), announce
that the Commission will hold a hearing entitled “Care for the Disabled in
Romania” on September 13, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate
Office Building.
In the early 1990s, images of Romanian children tied to
cribs -- neglected, underfed, and often languishing in their own filth --
shocked the world and prompted calls for radical reform of Romania's care for
disabled and disadvantaged children. The hearing will examine Romanian
governmental and non-governmental perspectives on the current state of care of
persons with disabilities in Romania.
The witnesses confirmed to testify
at the hearing are: Silviu G. Didilescu, President, Romanian National Authority
for Persons with Disabilities; Eric Rosenthal, Executive Director, Mental
Disabilities Rights International; and Cristian Ispas, Founder and Director of
Motivation Romania International and National Director of Special Olympics
Romania Foundation.
For additional information about the hearing, please
contact Shelly Han or Mark Kearney at (202) 225-1901.
The Commission on
Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki Commission, is a
U.S. Government agency that monitors progress in the implementation of the 1975
Helsinki Accords.
