The Romanian authorities that jumped to blaming the former Government on the MDRI report have started to admit the fact that the Americans could be right. The images with the 46 children in the Auschwitz in Braila haven’t been caught on camera in 2004, but one year later…

They were not the representatives of "Mental Disability Right International", but the ones of the "Centre for Juridical Resources". As a matter of fact, the MRDI report even says this: "In June 2005, an investigation team from MRDI, together with the Centre for Juridical Resources, a non-governmental organization that monitors the psychiatry institutions in Romania, has taken into account the abusive conditions under which 46 children from the "Saint Pantelimon" Psychiatry Hospital in Braila were kept. A few months before the MRDI visit, CJR had filed a written complaint to present the situation to the national authorities for the child protection, but they had not received any answer".
