Doctors told to refuse to force-feed prisoners

Israel Medical Association chairman Dr. Leonid Eidelman says he “has given doctors an instruction to act solely according to the demands of ethics and not to force-feed prisoners on a hunger strike.”

Eidelman says that “the doctor’s association views the intention to legislate force-feeding very severely. Our objection was expressed to [representatives of] government ministries and the government’s attorney general at every opportunity.”
