We understand that some fifty four medical personnel (nurses, doctors, and medical students) have already been killed by your security forces.
As fellow medical professionals we raise our voices to demand an end to your forces’ murderous activities, stat.
Dr. Assad, you are besmirching the honour of the medical profession, whose basic humanitarian values you swore to uphold.
