[Editorial] Turkish Medical Association —detained for peace

“We acted as we always do as doctors. We have focused on human life and health. We will continue to act as doctors in every setting we are in. We do not accept the charges”, said Turkish Medical Association (TTB) chairman Raşit Tükel, as cited by his lawyer. In a letter to The Lancet, Caghan K izil reports that Tükel and ten other senior members of the TTB were detained and accused of treason by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan following a published statement in response to Turkey's military incursion in northern Syria.
