Doctor Soo Chai Ang faced withdrawal of her speaking invitation to a British medical students' conference in April 2025, according to Shehab Wire. The British Medical Association cancelled her participation after details of the incident resurfaced in Britain during 2026. Ang had been invited to address the event before the invitation was rescinded.
The cancellation drew renewed attention to the case, which centers on Ang's activism and statements regarding Palestine. Her removal from the conference platform sparked discussion in British medical circles about academic freedom and the treatment of physicians engaged in political advocacy.
