Dr. Jboor is co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide, which is leading actions at the U.S. Capitol: “As healthcare workers, we are trained to act before death becomes inevitable. Genocide is a preventable crime, not an unavoidable tragedy. This April 15, we go to Washington with a clear demand: our tax dollars must be used to save lives, not end them. Medicine stands for life, and we will not be complicit.”
The group recently noted: “Hussam Abu Safiyeh, former director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, remains imprisoned without charge since December 2024, with UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng and other experts confirming he has been subjected to ‘severe torture and other cruel and degrading treatment’ while his health condition grows dire.”
