About this advice

BIMA have written a letter to the BMJ Global Health editor supporting their decision to publish the editorial entitled ‘Violence in Palestine demands immediate resolution of its settler colonial root causes’, providing a voice to those who are being silenced.

It is vital that journals are not intimidated and silenced by political pressure when discussing sociopolitical determinants of health. We all must protect and uphold academic freedoms.

Furthermore, we express our willingness to engage in a dialogue to discuss this issue and extend our support.
