Bed cages and barred rooms: Thai authorities probe elder care facility over alleged abuse

An elderly and psychiatric care centre in Kanchanaburi, Thailand is under investigation following allegations of unlawful confinement and severe abuse.

Prompted by a former resident’s television appearance, police raided the facility and discovered patients kept in metal cages, alongside severe overcrowding issues with 100 residents in a 50-bed facility. Management defended the cages as a safety measure against self-harm.
