On October 29, SAMS and Physicians for Human Rights, along with medical professionals, partners, and allies, will be standing in solidarity with the over 670 Syrian medical workers who have been killed as well as those who continue to risk their lives to save others. We will be gathering 670 people for the Die-In to #DefendDoctors in Syria. All participants will be wearing white coats and holding a sign that corresponds to information about one of the Syrian medical workers who was killed. The die-in will be held at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, right around the corner from the UN, at noon. Dr. Majed Abou Ali, who worked under siege in East Ghouta, will also be speaking alongside leaders from SAMS, PHR, and other NGOs. Here is our sign-up form, a link to the Facebook event, and a flyer is attached.
