Within the campaign ‘Bahrain Free the Doc’s’ initiated and spearheaded by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), IFHHRO joined several prominent medical associations and health professionals, including the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians, who call for Bahrain to cease all attacks on hospitals, patients, and medical professionals.
In a joint letter sent to Crown Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Deputy Supreme Commander of the Bahrain Defence Force, the groups urge Bahrain to respect its international legal obligations and bring an end to all other violations of medical neutrality.
