The authors agree with the specific statements in the correspondence of Leon Geffen and colleagues of the Israel Medical Association (IMA). The IMA Code of Ethics states that doctors must not participate in or assist in the torture, humiliation or harm to the dignity of a person, including an imprisoned person. They stand behind this claim 100 percent. They are troubled by the certainty that the allegations in the correspondence are true. These allegations have not been confirmed by any independent source. The article is a form of correspondence on medical ethics, responsibility and evidence during the war.
