In addition, the employees, who were obliged to urgently report the incident, did not call the 112 service.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>More info about the Centre for Recuperation, Neuropsychiatric Rehabilitation for Adults with Disabilities Caline\u0219ti (CRRNPAH Caline\u0219ti): <\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Centre in Caline\u0219ti is composed of four pavilions and provides services to around 120 residents. According to the legal provisions, the centre, which also has legal personality, should have been restructured and reorganised since 2018, which has not yet taken place.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The centre was expected to undergo a restructuring process, which had also foreseen building 2 sheltered homes\/small group homes for 20 people and 1 day centre that were supposed to be completed by 31 December 2021 through the use of the European Regional Development Funds. At the moment, no construction has started, the designated land is not marked and indicated according to the standards required by the European funds and there is no information on the state of the project (<a href=\"https:\/\/2plus1calinesti.ro\/despre-proiect\">https:\/\/2plus1calinesti.ro\/despre-proiect<\/a>). These sheltered homes\/small group homes do not correspond to Romania\u2019s obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The Convention provides that independent living in the community can only take place outside residential institutions of all kinds. European and national funds must therefore be used to build community services, individual social housing with adequate equipment and personal assistants. European funds have been blocked since 2018 on this project which has not even started and which, moreover, would lead to building micro-institutions with the same medical staff and social assistance, therefore perpetuating the institutional culture, which is not in line with the requirements of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">CLR contacted the relatives of the victims and representatives of the competent authorities, the next step meaning to send the information gathered to the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office attached to the Prahova Tribunal.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We request that Prahova County Council and the National Authority for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Children and Adoptions (ANDPDCA) to speed up the adoption of measures to prevent abuse and ensure services in the community. CLR also asks the Ministry of European Funds and the European Commission to put in place measures and conditionality to ensure that European and national funds are not used to maintain and perpetuate the abuse and violation of the human rights of persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>For more information:<\/strong><br \/>\nGeorgiana Pascu, program manager, CLR, <a href=\"mailto:gpascu@crj.ro\">gpascu@crj.ro<\/a>, 0729 881 159<br \/>\n\u0218tefania Dasc\u0103lu, lawyer, CRJ, <a href=\"mailto:stefania.dascalu@crj.ro\">stefania.dascalu@crj.ro<\/a>, 0737 228 384<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crj.ro\/\"><b>www.crj.ro<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">________________________<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crj.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sesizare-ANDPDCA-AJPIS_anon.pdf\">Official monitoring report and complaint submitted to ANDPDCA<\/a> (09\/08\/2021)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crj.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sesizare-Parchet_anon.pdf\">Criminal complaint submitted to the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office<\/a> (09\/08\/2021)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crj.ro\/umilinta-bataie-si-moarte-violenta-tratament-pentru-persoane-cu-dizabilitati-la-centru-rezidential-din-calinesti\/\">Press release in Romanian<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bucharest, 7 August 2021.
