The necessity for continued involuntary placement must be regularly reviewed.
Involuntary placement can be applied for as long as it is necessary and the law does not provide for any time limitations. The treatment has been ordered for your own good and for the safety of society. However, when you have recovered, compulsory treatment should be cancelled.
What human rights violation may there be?
If the need for involuntary placement is not regularly reviewed and you are not given an opportunity to challenge the prolonged involuntary placement, it may result in a violation of the right to liberty and the security of a person.
