SOS Médecins Lille has temporarily suspended its activities following a violent assault and death threats against one of its practitioners. The incident occurred when two individuals interrupted a medical consultation, demanding the family present to leave before attacking the doctor. The president of SOS Médecins Lille described the assaulted physician's condition as having "encountered the image of death." Authorities have opened an investigation into the assault and the threats. The local branch of SOS Médecins has also called a strike in response to the attack, which has been characterized as an "intolerable punitive expedition."
