Syrians wounded during the ongoing uprising against their government risk torture and arrest when they seek medical attention, a new report from the international humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders says. Their doctors are also threatened.
Because the group is not authorized to work in Syria, Doctors Without Borders based its report on the statements of Syrian patients and physicians, who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons. They say the Syrian government has persecuted people injured in protests and the doctors who treat them.
Here are some of the most striking testimonies, which could not be independently confirmed:
"A colleague of mine was caught with gauze in his car and he was sentenced on charges of running a field hospital. He was in prison for a month and was tortured." -- Syrian doctor
"One scene I remember in particular was a man with his face hidden, crushing an injured person with his feet. ... Judging by his uniform, he was an officer. At the end, the officer finished off the injured man." --- elderly Syrian patient
