DetailsAbout
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 MSc, BSc, MD, MA
Sharryn Aiken BA, MA, LLB, LLM
Craig Scott BA, LLB, LLM
