Hello to those reading this and thank you once more for signing our petition.

As I have often mentioned in interviews, it is very difficult for us to get an exact count when it comes to the many suicides that have ended the lives of ex-members. For the record, we consider death as a result of substance addictions to be part of that count. When I created this petition, I had estimated that number to be around 100.

Due to the fact that we are spread across the globe and a significant number of ex-members choose not to stay in touch with other exers, it has been complicated trying to get an exact count but recently, a list has been compiled showing true number is over 200, and that is a conservative number.

Sadly, each year we lose more and more of our fellow survivors. Justice is long overdue and we owe it to their memory to fight for it. Please continue to share our petition so our voices are heard.

Thank you
