About Lawyers & Doctors for Human Rights
A civil society non-governmental organization that supports civilians during their crisis and dedicates time and energy to providing assistance in an effort to stop human rights violations and to help those who need to obtain the services needed to rehabilitate them to be active members of society.
We grew out of a bud of lawyers and doctors who had dedicated their efforts to document the atrocities taking place in Syria against detainees according to international standards, to mature later, and become an active member in more areas, including establishing committees to evaluate and make recommendations under the supervision of international experts and to gather bodies concerned to coordinate and cooperate together to reach justice and enrich the spirit of society with the sacred values ââof humanity.
LDHR is growing rapidly and expanding its activities while gaining more knowledge and experience.
Vision

All from obtaining the informed consent of the survivor, to the conclusion according to his medical experience, which requires him to have sufficient legal knowledge, and to think of the judgeâs mentality to formulate all his information as legal evidence.
