Pieke Roelofs - also known as Pie - is a Dutch artist, autistic whistleblower and former psychiatric patient. She was committed for being suicidal in 2016 after she was psychologically tortured and abused in a pseudoscientific experiment. Her testimonies about ‘Experiment A’, the mental health system, police treatment of survivors of sexual abuse and her experiences with her government have reached hundreds of thousands of people both in her own country as well as internationally.
This is her story, as told by the media and her friends, featuring commentary from Pie herself.
