"The College of Medicine at the University of Baghdad rises up in furious protests that engulfed the college on the morning of Wednesday, the eighteenth of the current October, in the aftermath of yesterday's bloody massacre that targeted innocent civilians at Al-Muamadaniya Hospital in the Gaza Strip in our sister nation of Palestine.
This protest is in response to the call of the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mr. Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani, in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in condemnation of the heinous crimes committed against them. The protest was attended by the Dean of the College of Medicine, Assistant Professor Dr. Ameen Al Alwany, along with the college's deputy deans, professors, staff, and students.
The protest witnessed speeches delivered by the college's students filled with anger and deep sorrow for the wounds of our wounded Palestinian people and the stricken Gaza Strip. It is an expressive outcry against injustice and an affirmation of human conscience and compassion."
