International activists were interviewed for a segment
of the PBS TV show "Religion and Ethics

is the debate over
involuntary psychiatric drugging. PBS shot footage at Support
Coalition's strategy retreat at Highlander this March.

(2) WARNING: NEW NEUROLEPTIC
DRUG MAY BECOME AVAILABLE
AS LONG-ACTING INJECTABLE
Neuroleptics are the drugs
most typically used during forced psychiatric
drugging. To physically force and coerce the drug, injectable
long-acting versions of some neuroleptics have been available
for years. The newer varieties of neuroleptics are called
"atypicals" and have been around for about a
decade.
However, so far no "atypical" has been available
as a long-acting
injectable.
That may change, as you can see from the _Boston Globe_
article at the below
link. Wall Street is watching closely because of the immense
potential profits for psychiatric drug corporations from the
long-acting injectable
version of Risperdal that is now being tested:
