about this doctor. I was watching this on the news and wondered why he went when told that if he had no visa he wouldn't be safe.

Hell , Yes

[emmie]

he went there of his own accord, was warned by family and friends not to go, and is now locked up, he is obviously ill, going on the mothers statement, but what should the government do?

[emmie]

sad but its too late, he has apparently died in detention in a Syrian prison.

i didn't get a lot of response when i posted this few days ago, i wonder what others think, it is terribly sad, i understand being a humanitarian but at the cost of his life... was that worth it for his family

i was just watching the story on the news, its just been announced about his death, what a tragedy for his family, what could the government have done, or did they do anything....

said to have committed suicide, seems rather far fetched wouldn't you say.
