Congratulations on your 6 year mandate as the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng. I am so grateful to call you a dear friend.
I want to read you a poem. Think of Others by Mahmoud Darwish. Translated from Arabic by Sarah Ragoub.
A 58 year old Swiss man is able to come to Ottawa and attend the CANSEC arms fair, and yell “I’m a fucking racist and I’m proud of it”, and punch a 21 year old Palestinian woman down to the ground, without any meaningful accountability. Appalling decision by the judge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I attended the court hearing on June 5 for this Swiss man who physically assaulted a young female protester outside the CANSEC fair in Ottawa in 2024. He didn't even show up to court today for the resumed sentencing hearing. No one is above the law. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A dear medical colleague and friend working in Gaza currently sent this photo to me. Canada is sending fortified biscuits into Gaza, but also still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Don’t be fooled by Canada’s “humanitarian alibi”.
Release Dr Hussam Abu Safiya! Contact your Member of Parliament, the Foreign Affairs Minister, and the Prime Minister to call for his immediate release: bit.ly/m/SaveDrHuss...
Dr. Abu Safiya is my medical colleague, as he is a colleague for all of us who work in healthcare around the world. Our Palestinian healthcare worker colleagues deserve every bit of our solidarity. rabble.ca/human-rights...

I can’t believe it’s been three years since I graduated from my masters of public health degree, where I studied health inequities and colonialism as a structural determinant of health.
I have been spending the past few days learning about the question of Cyprus. Discussing negotiation, reconciliation, and peace building. There are many lessons from Cyprus, and much the world can offer to build sustainable and lasting peace through self-determination and true reconciliation.

I keep thinking about this picture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from yesterday during a court hearing. He has remained in Israeli custody since this abduction from Gaza in December 2024.
No one is illegal on stolen land. There are no borders in healthcare. Healthcare should never depend on status. Human rights including the right to access healthcare ought to be a human right for all people on this land, without exception or preconditions.
