Citizens Commission on Human Rights Sounds Alarm on the Lethal Drugging of Unwitting Military Personnel

CCHR volunteers from the Church of Scientology of Harlem expose the psychiatric drugging allegedly responsible for the suicides and premature deaths of thousands of servicemen and veterans each year.

With 22 soldiers and veterans committing suicide every day on average, members of the Harlem chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) alerted those participating in a Memorial Day observance to the link between these soaring rates of suicide and the dangerous antipsychotic and the antidepressant drugs these men and women are prescribed.

If Americans were truly aware that these fallen heroes are unwitting victims of drugs whose side effects include increased aggression and suicidal thinking, they would demand immediate reform

Armed with copies of the documentary The Hidden Enemy: Inside Psychiatry’s Covert Agenda, CCHR volunteers handed out the film to visitors at the Intrepid Museum on Pier 86 in New York, urging them to the take action to protect our servicemen. 

Their point: If Americans were truly aware that these fallen heroes are unwitting victims of drugs whose side effects include increased aggression and suicidal thinking, they would demand immediate reform of the harmful psychiatric protocols that permit such wholesale, irresponsible and irreparable harm to the more than 8,000 active and former servicemen and women who are taking their lives each year.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit charitable mental health watchdog established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and professor of psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szaz, dedicated to eradicating psychiatric abuses and ensuring patient protection.

With headquarters in Los Angeles, California, CCHR International guides a global human rights advocacy network across 34 nations. CCHR Commissioners include physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, lawyers, legislators, government officials, educators and civil rights representatives.
