Exclusive: Coalition of Medical groups tells UK government not to enforce 'chilling' NHS censorship on Palestine
A coalition of UK medical groups representing over 13,000 healthcare workers has urged the government to halt NHS censorship measures targeting pro-Palestine advocacy. The groups oppose recommendations by Lord John Mann, including mandatory antisemitism training, bans on political symbols, and restrictions on protests, calling them 'chilling' and lacking community engagement. Critics argue the review prioritizes Israel's interests over addressing systemic racism and Islamophobia in the NHS.
