The plight of Professor Karabus

Abstract

"The South African paediatric community was both shocked and outraged by the recent arrest and incarceration of Professor Cyril Karabus in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Professor Karabus is an eminent paediatric oncologist, who has dedicated his life to treating children with paediatric malignancies. He worked at the world famous Red Cross Children’s Hospital and he has since retired. He was arrested while in transit through Dubai on the way back from Canada, where he had attended his son’s wedding. "
