〔记者苏永耀／台北报导〕非洲裔的世界卫生组织秘书长谭德塞指控台湾对其种族歧视，
不实言论遭到质疑。事实上，外界批评谭德塞亲中的表现，是导致这次武汉肺炎在全球蔓
延的主因，而中国近期在广东等地以疫情为由针对黑人的种种强制作为，则引发非洲国家
的怒火，非洲国家驻中国大使在10日联合致信中国外交部长王毅，痛陈这是中国对于非洲
的种族主义，要求立即改善歧视性作为。
这封以“非洲驻中国大使协会”（The Group of African Ambassadors in Beijing）名
义发出的抗议信提到，相关污名化和歧视作为，将让外界以为COVID-19（武汉肺炎）“是
非洲人散播出来的”。本报并取得抗议信函全文。
这封抗议信函并列举多项歧视性与不人道作为，包括：非洲裔人士半夜里在居住的旅馆里
被逐出；非洲学生尽管在这段时间没有出游史，但仍被要求进行核酸测试；与中国婚配的
非洲裔人士被要求核酸测试，但他们的中国家人却不用；无端扣押非洲公民的护照；对非
洲公民持续性侮辱，即使检测结果阴性但仍遭隔离；甚至无正当理由威胁取消非洲裔人士
的签证，并进行逮捕、拘留或驱逐出境，严重侵犯人权。
这些非洲驻中国大使们指出，他们感到震惊发现中国对于非洲人的歧视和侮辱，这种只针
对非洲人的强制检疫是没有任何科学或逻辑依据，也无异于是中国针对非洲人的种族主义
。
这封抗议信函除给中国外交部长王毅外，也同时发给联合国人权理事会，以及非洲联盟等
。
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.
