A debate has erupted in Italy over reports that doctors who assisted migrants in difficulty are being investigated by authorities. Commenters are invoking Bertolt Brecht's famous line about a country that does not deserve its thinkers, adapting it to say 'poor is the country that investigates its own doctors who help people in need'. Critics frame the probes as criminalising medical care and solidarity, tying the issue to broader concerns over migrant rights and detention conditions.
