UK and Israel - criticized for
persecuting anti-genocide
advocates
July 4th, 8:06am
(PressTV)
Protesters gathered outside the General Medical Council's
headquarters in London, to slam the council's attempt to
silence those speaking out about the Israeli genocide
in Gaza.
Protesters describe the surgeon as one of the world's leading
war doctors and argue that the regulator's actions
amount to an attempt --- to silence those who
peak publicly about the realities of war.
''So we are demonstrating in front of the GMC, because the
GMC has decided to appeal against the rulings of two of
its own tribunals, so that the High Court would allow it
to try me for a third time, in order to get the ''right''
political result that it wants.
''The GMC is conducting a political campaign against, not just
myself, but every doctor who's spoken up against the
genocide, in order to silence us, in the service of
the genocidal project.''
Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah, British-Palestinian Surgeon
Protesters travel to rally in London in
support of Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah
Doctors, campaigners, and members of the public traveled to
attend the demonstration, asserting that the proceedings
are about more than one individual, warning that they
could have a chilling effect ....on healthcare
professionals speaking about
humanitarian crises.
''Actually, there probably were a group of lawyers set up by the
Israelis again to pursue highly charged politicized campaigns
against professionals and workers in this country, who stand
against genocide.
''So, really, it's the action of how the British government and
the Israelis who are trying to persecute and outlaw speech
in support of Palestine --- in the heartland of Britain.
''Actually, from, we know where our government, you know,
the British government, the Labour government, and the
Tory government before it --- have been complicit in
genocide from bases like RAF Akrotiri, where Keir
Starmer went and complimented the troops.
''They run the genocide, they send the planes over Gaza,
they stream that information live to the Israelis as
they're committing that genocide.
''So -- our government is complicit, and what they're doing with
their complaints is they're making it illegal for us to oppose it.''
Ranjeet Brar, NHS Surgeon
More than 43,000 ------------- suffered life-threatening
injuries during Israeli genocidal war in Gaza: WHO
Speakers at the rally -- urged the GMC to withdraw the appeal;
assisting medical professionals should not face professional
consequences for raising concerns over civilian suffering in
conflict zones.
''There's a clear example here with Dr. Ghassan, where UK law
is for Israel, that it is essentially standing up for the rights of
a foreign entity, have been pressuring patients, pressuring
people to make complaints against Dr. Abu-Sittah, and
this is just one example of many other institutions,
medical institutions like the Royal Colleges, and
even the journals, the medical journals that we
publish in, where they've been pressured from
UK pro-Israel lobby groups --- to censor and to
shut down any form of pro-Palestine activism.
''So, I think we're seeing this now very clearly with
Dr. Ghassan, but the reality is it's much more
widespread than any of us think.''
Dr Omar Abdel-Mannan, British-Egyptian Pediatric Neurologist
Organizers say they will continue campaigning until the
proceedings against Dr. Abu-Sittah come to an end,
maintaining - that doctors must be free to speak
about the humanitarian consequences of war
without fear or professional repercussions.
Supporters.. gathered outside the General Medical Council
in London to stand behind British Palestinian surgeon Dr.
Ghassan Abu-Sittah, accusing the regulators of
attempting to silence one of the world's
most prominent war doctors.
Demonstrators say the case is not simply about one medic,
but the right of healthcare professionals to speak out on
the atrocities of Gaza without professional retaliation.

warplanes carrying bombs and
missiles to kill Yemenis and
destroy infrastructure”.
