Two Lake Alice survivors questioning when they'll receive redress
A survivor of torture at Lake Alice psychiatric hospital in the 1970s said he won't turn up to the government apology for abuse in care if he hasn't received compensation by then. This comes as New Zealand has for the first time to the United Nations, admitted children and young people were tortured at the hospital's child and adolescent unit in the 1970s. The admission comes in response to the regular review of the UN Committee Against Torture.
