〔記者蘇永耀／台北報導〕非洲裔的世界衛生組織秘書長譚德塞指控台灣對其種族歧視，
不實言論遭到質疑。事實上，外界批評譚德塞親中的表現，是導致這次武漢肺炎在全球蔓
延的主因，而中國近期在廣東等地以疫情為由針對黑人的種種強制作為，則引發非洲國家
的怒火，非洲國家駐中國大使在10日聯合致信中國外交部長王毅，痛陳這是中國對於非洲
的種族主義，要求立即改善歧視性作為。
這封以「非洲駐中國大使協會」（The Group of African Ambassadors in Beijing）名
義發出的抗議信提到，相關汙名化和歧視作為，將讓外界以為COVID-19（武漢肺炎）「是
非洲人散播出來的」。本報並取得抗議信函全文。
這封抗議信函並列舉多項歧視性與不人道作為，包括：非洲裔人士半夜裡在居住的旅館裡
被逐出；非洲學生儘管在這段時間沒有出遊史，但仍被要求進行核酸測試；與中國婚配的
非洲裔人士被要求核酸測試，但他們的中國家人卻不用；無端扣押非洲公民的護照；對非
洲公民持續性侮辱，即使檢測結果陰性但仍遭隔離；甚至無正當理由威脅取消非洲裔人士
的簽證，並進行逮捕、拘留或驅逐出境，嚴重侵犯人權。
這些非洲駐中國大使們指出，他們感到震驚發現中國對於非洲人的歧視和侮辱，這種只針
對非洲人的強制檢疫是沒有任何科學或邏輯依據，也無異於是中國針對非洲人的種族主義
。
這封抗議信函除給中國外交部長王毅外，也同時發給聯合國人權理事會，以及非洲聯盟等
。
信函全文如下：
Protest Letter of African Ambassadors in Beijing.
The African Group of Ambassadors in Beijing present its compliments to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China and
International Department of the Communist Party of China and has the honour
to as a follow up of a meeting with a selected African Ambassadors held on
Thursday, 9th April, 2020 strongly protest the ongoing forceful testing and
quarantine and maltreatment of African Nationals in China and in Guangdong
Province in particular .
The Group of African Ambassadors appreciates the excellent relations between
China and our respective African countries dating back in the Africa’s
liberation struggle, Africa’s support to China, especially in securing the
permanent seat of the United Nations Security Council. This collaborative
effort also manifested in the ongoing fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and
the various assistance extended to our countries by the Communist Party of
China under the leadership of H.E Xi Jinxing.
It is therefore worrisome, following this excellent cooperation and mutual
friendship that, the African Group of Ambassadors observes with
consternations the discrimination and stigmatization of Africans whereby they
are made to forcefully, and in a very crude manner to undergo epidemic
investigation and Nucleic Acid Test, fourteen （14） days quarantine even if
they had not travelled outside their jurisdictions, not come into contact
with infected persons, not had close contact or showing any symptoms of the
COVID-19.
The Group would like to underscore the fact that the Africans in China have
at all times adhered to the laws of China, particularly within the period of
this outbreak. We have not and cannot recall Chinese authorities reporting a
case where our nationals have violated the anti-pandemic laws and regulations
of the China Government. Therefore, the singling out of Africans for
compulsory testing and quarantine, in our view, has no scientific or logical
basis and amounts to racism towards Africans in China.
We would like to underscore that friendship between Africa and China should
be mutual and not a one way affair.
Regrettably, we have received disquieting reports of inhuman treatments meted
out to Africans particularly in Guangdong Province and would like to
enumerate just but a few:
● African nationals ejected including Togolese, Nigerians, and Benenois from
their hotels in the middle of the night only because they are Africans;
● A group of African students studying in Sun-Yat Sen University in
Guangzhou were made to undergo the Nucleic Acid Test, in spite of the fact
that they had no travel history within the stated period.
● Selective testing of African students while their non African colleagues
are left out.
● There were cases of African men married to Chinese ladies and they were
demanded to take the COVID-19 test and their Chinese families left out. In
some cases the men were pulled out of their families and quarantined in
hotels alone.
● Forced evictions of Africans from their various apartments and thrown into
the streets even those with infant children.
● Seizure of passports of African nationals in violation of international
practices and conventions
● Persistent harassment and humiliation of African nationals by subjecting
them to unwarranted medical examinations after testing negative for the
COVID-19, and forced into quarantine, irrespective of their negative status;
● Threats of revocation of visas, arrest, detention and deportation of
African legal migrants for no cogent reason which infringes on their human
rights
From the foregoing the impression is being created as though the spread of
the virus is caused by Africans contrary to the fact that , in China and
indeed globally, Africans are the least exposed to COVID-19 OR is there any
other reason for which Africans are being targeted other than COVID- 19 that
we are unaware of ? .
We would also want to bring to your attention the possible backlash in our
home countries of this obvious human rights violation.
The Group of African Ambassadors in Beijing immediately demands the cessation
of forceful testing, quarantine and other inhuman treatments meted out to
Africans in Guangdong Province in particular and the whole of China and also
demands that Africans are treated the same as Chinese and other nationals in
the fight against COVID-19.
The Group of African Ambassadors in Beijing avail itself of this opportunity
to renew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of
China and the International Department of the Communist Party of China the
assurances of our highest consideration.
