I read the original article. Appallingly, the MIA article seems accurate

Seems like torture to obtain consent

The CRPD is explicit about involuntary treatment

She had already been involuntarily admitted to hospital for a cumulative six months, before they started electrocution
Psychobabble of the Month: ECT Hailed as Method to Gain Consent for Forced Drug Treatment

Psychiatrists forced a woman to undergo dozens of electroshock sessions until she finally agreed to take clozapine. They framed this as "restoring" her "decision-making capacity."
Psychobabble of the Month: ECT Hailed as Method to Gain Consent for Forced Drug Treatment
Refusal to take clozapine was considered evidence of mental illness, and forced ECT changed her mind; the researchers call this "consent."

Seeking asylum is a human right. Treating undocumented immigrants as humans, and as assets will have positive impacts. Migrants tend to be MORE honest and hard working than locals.
📰 Spain’s decision to give legal residency to potentially half a million undocumented immigrants shows the country is an outlier among Western democracies in treating them as an asset.
