Doctors Against Genocide Members Arrested in DC amid US Crackdown on Gaza Supporters

IQNA – Multiple members of Doctors Against Genocide, a global organization dedicated to preventing genocide, advocating for justice, and protecting healthcare workers and patients in conflict zones, were arrested at the offices of the United States Senate in Washington, DC.

The pro-Palestinian group of health care workers had planned to hold a press conference to call attention to Israel's shocking refusal of health care treatment for indiscriminately bombarded, starved and besieged Gazans.

The arrests were not unexpected, as pro-Palestinian voices have been targeted, harassed, prosecuted and even deported, across the United States, with no end in sight for this state-sponsored discrimination.

With Israel banning foreign journalists since the start of their attempted genocide in the Gaza Strip, healthcare workers have been vital in transmitting the often horrific facts on the ground.

One month after their onslaught began, the Western mainstream media refused to believe that the Israeli regime would violate international law and bombard the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

Eighteen months later, the United Nations World Health Organization just reported that at least 94% of all hospitals in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, with North Gazans having no working hospital to receive any medical care at all.

From California to the capital, the United States continues to suppress pro-Palestinian speech, causing major damage to the nation's reputation as an alleged bastion of freedom of expression.
