BMA condemns ill treatment of striking doctors in Sudan
The recent arrests of doctors’ leaders in Sudan and subsequent violent attacks on protestors calling for their release have caused widespread international condemnation.
Last week Amnesty International declared six doctors—arrested for their activities as members of a committee calling for better pay and working conditions—to be "prisoners of conscience" and warned that they are "at risk of torture or other ill treatment."
A BMA spokesman said that it will be writing to the Sudanese authorities "to express serious concerns about potential violations of the fundamental rights of doctors in the Sudan."
He said "Sudanese doctors have been peacefully demonstrating in support of their basic employment rights, and the BMA is extremely worried about reports of maltreatment and summary arrest." He added that the BMA will be calling for the immediate release of the incarcerated doctors and seeking confirmation that any injured doctors will be given any medical attention they may need.

Their request seemed simple enough: the patient and his wife, both in their 70s, wanted a copy of what I’d written in their medical file. During their visit, I had watched them refer to a well-thumbed collection of doctors’ notes and medication lists, so when they asked for a copy of my note just before leaving, I assumed it would simply be added to the others

and so paranoid that it misjudges any out cry from within the oppressed crowds as one that is intended to topple it over !
This most recent developement however is a seriousdeterioration in a situation that has already been deplorable.
It is a great harm to themselves most of all - ugly their picture as it already is in the international commuity,
but the impact on the common population and on health service delivery is unsustaibable.
The worry however is that the dictatorship continues to deny itself the benefit of recognizing all this mismanagement and continues its oppressive means.
