Dr. T. Sathiyamoorthy, Dr. V. Shanmugarajah and Dr. T. Varatharajah were three government-employed physicians detained without charge after saving thousands of lives during the war in Sri Lanka in 2009. This panel discussion will focus on the circumstances around their cases, and explore the concepts of medical neutrality and ethical duty to patients during war. Panelists will also touch on the broader themes of press freedom, detention without charge, and human rights violations as they pertain to the doctors’ story.
Panelists:
Dr. James Orbinski, Associate Professor of Family & Community Medicine and Political Science, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto
Sharry Aiken, Associate Professor of Law, Queen's University & editor-in-chief of Refuge, Canada's Periodical on Refugees
Craig Scott, Professor of Law, Osgoode Hall Law School & Director of the Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security, York University |
