PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS: STAND WITH PHR AGAINST INJUSTICE
Physicians for Human Rights is a US-based not-for-profit human rights NGO that uses medicine and science to document and advocate against mass atrocities and severe human rights violations around the world, with a focus on attacks on healthcare in Syria.
Action For Sama are thrilled to partner with Physicians for Human Rights as the organisation documents attacks on healthcare facilities and the killing of medical personnel in Syria. Using evidence rooted in science as a critical tool to establish a fact-based record of human rights abuses and make human rights violators accountable for their crimes.

By calling attention to these crimes and securing evidence to hold perpetrators accountable in future national or international justice processes, Physicians for Human Rights are an integral part of how Action For Sama plans to call for justice and accountability for the Syrian people.
For example, Physicians for Human Rights have researched, documented, and mapped widespread and systematic attacks on medical infrastructure in Syria since March 2011, amounting to 583 attacks on at least 350 separate facilities from March 2011 through August 2019. As you can also see on our About Syria page (link), their interactive map of Syria provides location information and details on attacks which Physicians for Human Rights was able to independently corroborate – 90 percent of which have been committed by the Syrian government and its Russian allies.
We at Action For Sama look forward to sharing more information and fact-based evidence from our partners Physicians for Human Rights and we urge you to follow them and spread awareness of their incredible work by sharing suggested posts below:
