Wow this is beyond inhuman. And these same ppl call themselves civilized. Reality is they are worst than animals. A big lesson for those who want to live in those shithole countries just for money.

One thing though, the title says muslim dad is it that even if he was a jew or christian would he be dragged away still?

The title of the video or this thread suggests it as if this was a punishment on him for being identified as a muslim?

Here is the full story, a sad tale indeed of desperate parents resorting to desperate measures to keep their child alive - against all hope and against medical advise. Nothing to see here folks, only a twisted individual twisting the narrative to suit some twisted agenda.


The couple's six-year-old daughter Zainab was suffering from respiratory problems and a rare genetic illness called Niemann-Pick syndrome.

"We have just been told about half an hour ago that they are going to take the tube out and that our daughter is going to die," Aliva told police officers as they repeatedly asked Abbasi to join them outside the room.

The police were called to the hospital, which cannot be named for legal reasons, after a complaint about Abbasi's behaviour due to a protracted dispute between the girl's parents and doctors over Zainab's healthcare.

The couple insisted they wanted the hospital to try a treatment they believed would help, against the advice of the hospital's doctors, who claimed nothing more could be done and she should be allowed to die.

The dispute escalated after the police repeatedly asked the 59-year-old father to step outside the intensive care unit room. Abbasi refused to leave and continued holding his daughter's hand.

Type A
Some children with the type A form of Niemann-Pick live to the age of 4. However, a majority of children with this type die in infancy.

Type B
Those with Niemann-Pick type B may survive into late childhood or early adulthood, but they often have health problems such as respiratory failure or complications related to an enlarged liver or spleen.

Type C
Niemann-Pick type C is always fatal. However, life expectancy depends on when symptoms begin. If symptoms appear in infancy, your child isn’t likely to live past the age of 5. If symptoms appear after 5 years of age, your child is likely to live until about 20 years of age. Each person may have a slightly different outlook depending on their symptoms and the severity of the disease.

A complete story...

UK: Police drag Rashid Abbasi from dying daughter's bedside
Video shows scuffle between police and NHS doctor after father refuses to leave bedside of critically ill daughter.

Video footage has emerged showing the father of a dying six-year-old girl being violently dragged away from her hospital bedside.

The video, from a United Kingdom officer's bodycam, showed the moment that police arrived at the intensive care unit room as respiratory expert Rashid Abbasi, who has worked in the UK's National Health Service for more than 30 years, was holding the hand of his daughter and near his wife Aliva, also a doctor.

Thirty minutes prior to the arrival of police, the parents had been told their daughter's life support was going to be withdrawn.

The couple's six-year-old daughter Zainab was suffering from respiratory problems and a rare genetic illness called Niemann-Pick syndrome.

"We have just been told about half an hour ago that they are going to take the tube out and that our daughter is going to die," Aliva told police officers as they repeatedly asked Abbasi to join them outside the room.

The couple insisted they wanted the hospital to try a treatment they believed would help, against the advice of the hospital's doctors, who claimed nothing more could be done and she should be allowed to die.

The dispute escalated after the police repeatedly asked the 59-year-old father to step outside the intensive care unit room. Abbasi refused to leave and continued holding his daughter's hand.

After a few minutes of talking, officers removed him by force, dragging him away from his daughter's bedside.

Abbasi is seen resisting the police before being slumped on the floor, shouting that he had chest pain and needed his medication. "I'll have a heart attack," Abbasi is heard saying in the video.

"You are acting like an animal; it's disgusting," a female police officer told Abbasi as his legs and ankles were strapped together.

Abbasi was later told he had suffered a heart attack and had an angioplasty procedure the next day.

The incident took place in August 2019, but the footage has been released now as part of a legal case brought by the parents against Northumbria police.

Six-year-old Zainab died in September 2019, three days before a court hearing on whether the hospital should be allowed to take her off the ventilator.

Agreed when there is no evidence if Security had such intentions. These kind of titles are part of info warfare or could be the result of some other goals but both sides are guilty in doing so. For example, a bearded guy attacked someone or any incident involving as such; the headline would be Muslim man attacked so & so and then, if the attacker is not a Muslim then he must be reported as some mentally unstable guy. What I want to say is that, Media has fueled the hatred that caused many wars or invasions of countries which was deliberately let to happen by the parties interested in their own economic or strategical goals but in the end it is already too late.

These sort of articles and stories pander to a victim mentality.
They are taken out of context and used to reinforce an us and them narrative to weak minded people who are easily led and influenced.

Wow. Just wow. I would have slapped the crap out of this police officer. Disgusting cops. They are hated everywhere for a reason.

I think you're right. It's not that he's Muslim or anything in particular. It's just inhuman to drag someone away like this from the bedside of their dying child. This was obviously pre-Covid as well. I'm shocked frankly.

Is he Pakistani? Saddened by this, saw this on fb.

You work for them for decades. He is a physician himself, for 30 years he has been giving his blood and sweat to these people.

In his time of need, this is how they treat him. As a Muslim physician myself, I am very cognizant of this general apathy and ungratefulness shown by Western populace to Muslim physicians.

They will thank you for saving their childrens' lives, but then turn around and vote for Trump and support his drive to ban Muslims.

I am totally with this dad, this situation could have been handled in a much better way, in light of the sacrifices he gave for their healthcare system.

Utterly disgraceful. Doctors have said they intend to remove the dying child's tube and then proceed to drag the parents out of the room forcefully??

I don't know the full context but on the face of it, the ITU staff have hell to answer for here. Parents of dying children must not be forced away from their child like this. You give them an extra hour. You give them an extra 5 hours. You cannot set the cops on them like this.

Again, it's not to do with their religion or ethnicity (at least I hope it isn't), so thread title is misleading. It's just a twisted arrogance and "God mentality" of the staff on the ward. Even the police are less to blame here because they're following orders. They've been called by the staff to do a job and they did it. Unbelievable.

Now what seems to complicate this further is that some legal challenge was perhaps underway to stop the doctors from extubating this patient. How on earth then can the ITU staff extubate this patient until that legal process is completed?? There are some serious questions to answer here and I hope the victims have a good lawyer who will ask these questions of the hospital. If a court order is pending for extubation, you cannot just yank the tube out and cease active treatment until that legal process is done.

Now when all that's said and done, here's the kicker....the couple were doctors themselves! Wtf is going on??

Thoughts of pdf doctors on this incident?

The legality of them ceasing active treatment prior to completion of a legal court order on the matter? Your thoughts as a medical professional?
