呼籲北縣府文化局末作『世界遺產殺手』,立即停止拆除樂生院古蹟。

《全球紀念漢生病人權、歷史,世界遺產登錄策略,2009年國際工作坊暨研討會》已經確定首屆全球推動大會師,將於今年2009,3月6、7、8三天在台灣台北舉辦。這場大會的標題是《尋找被遺忘的世界:漢生病隔離病院,墾殖村,流放孤島》目地是呼籲聯合國(UNESCO)將樂生院與全球散落各國的漢生病隔離病院,墾殖村,流放孤島共同提報『世界遺產』登錄。這場大會由聯合國漢生病特別咨詢機構IDEA總會共同發起,本會承辦,許多與WHO關係密切的國際NGO’s,IDEA、、ILA、ILEP、日本財團,都將與會共商推動事宜,而樂生院人權與史蹟維護將列為他們優先監察對象。

換言之,樂生院將與全球各地漢生病上百年的隔離遺址,共同提報列入聯合國教科文組織(UNESCO)登錄的『世界遺產』,也將成為台灣首例『公共衛生世界遺產』,甚為殊榮,相當受到各界期待。屆時大會將有來自夏威夷Kalaupapa(卡魯帕帕島),南菲Robin Island(羅伯島),菲律賓(Culion),馬來西亞毛糯病院,巴西、韓國小鹿島,羅馬尼亞,日本、英國ILEP、ILA等國際代表來台,大會將對台灣社會各界開放,誠摯邀請各界與會,台灣的醫療、公衛、建築,古蹟、文化資產界的學者、教授、學生都應該來參加,因為有許多第一手的資訊,相當保貴絕不能錯過。

然而,儘管大會籌備工作已經如火如涂進行,外界也相當期待,我們在台灣的籌備小組於去年12月底在立法院內,也請林淑芬、田秋堇、鄭麗文等立委召集公聽會,要求文建會與北縣文化局曾繼田科長允諾『拆除現有施工圍離』『暫緩樂生院拆遷重組工作』,而且北縣府目前還未完成『都市計劃』及『重組計劃』,僅配合擴大內須而倉促拆除,顯然是『假保留,真拆除』將使古蹟『世界遺產』價值全失,相當不宜。

因為拆遷9棟樂生院古蹟,將可能使樂生院就因此尚失『世界遺產』指定的可能性。我們也請求立委裁示『請文建會儘速邀集建築古蹟學者,現勘研擬9棟古蹟現地保全方案』。

會後,文建會也正式發文北縣府『須待完成都市更新及重組計劃,才能拆遷』。我們原本以為保留樂生院完整全貌還有機會。我們也靜待文建會能出面把關。

而我們目前在行政館已籌設一年多的『樂生博物館,故事館』,內典藏有500萬年化石,200年古物,昭合總督府憲澤亭物品,以及進全球漢生人權運動記錄,原本也正請文建會,樂生院方出面協調另處安放當中。

沒想到上週週末,北縣府文化局竟然又私下要求承包商笙原營造廠商進場拆除樂生院行政大樓屋頂,昨天寶貴古物收藏處屋頂被掀。目前所有典藏文物將受到曝晒雨淋,後續損失將持續擴大,樂生的文物將因此蒙受重大浩劫。

去年漢生法案在立法院通過,已明定文建會著手協助古蹟保存,醫療園區規劃,文物資料典藏、記錄片建檔工作,如今各項計劃方興未艾,文建會還在規劃工作進行,然而今天北縣府卻私下要求廠商,盡速在3月9日前完成『樂生院9棟古蹟』拆除工作,真的要做作『樂生院世界遺產殺手』嗎,不能保全這項台灣重要文化資產嗎?

日前北縣文化局長李斌也封殺補助,不配合文建會籌備『樂生與全球漢生世界遺產大會』。據聞北縣文化局還要求廠商過年期間趕工,希望趕在3月9日完成拆遷,這分明就是要趁著國際人士來台前把樂生院拆光光,聯合國世界遺產專家到台灣來看時,只看到樂生全景全被破壞,世界遺產價值被完全毀滅,一堆樂生院廢墟、遺骸,是要證明台灣是比中國還沒有人權與文化的國家嗎?

這樣做,會讓台灣很丟臉,也是讓馬英九總統丟臉。試問李彬文化局長,曾繼田科長,北縣府真的要這樣做嗎?

我們的訴求:

一、 三月國際大會將要舉辦,為了保護樂生院這處台灣首例『世界文化遺產物World Heritage』我們呼籲文建會,北縣文化局,末作『世界遺產殺手』,暫緩拆除樂生院工作,盡速召集古蹟專家研擬樂生保全方案,推動世遺工作。
二、 希望發起籌組『全民巡守樂生世界遺產』部落客巡守隊,只要看到有工人拆除樂生院建築,就將照片發給部落客,公告週知。
三、 呼籲更多社會各界,加入『全球漢生世界遺產國際工作坊¬—國際志工隊』協助推動工作,守護台灣重要文化資產。

International Workshop & Symposium for Hansen’s Disease/Leprosy Issue, March 2009, Taiwan:

International Workshop & Symposium for

Hansen’s Disease/Leprosy Issue, March 2009, Taiwan:

Ensuring the Rights of the Older Generation Affected by Hansen's Disease/Leprosy. Memorizing Human Rights, History,

Strategy for Registration of World Heritages.

I . THEMED

The Right to Home, The Right to Family, The Right to be Part of History(Strategy for Registration of World Heritages).The Role of Sdates,Medical and Social Work

II. SUMMARIZING


An international conference is being convened by the residents of Lo Sheng in Taiwan in order to promote the discussion of "Ensuring the Rights of the Older Generation of Persons Affected b

y Hansen's Disease/Leprosy throughout the World". Participants from at least 10 countries are being invited to come to Taiwan to discuss the most basic human rights of individuals around the world who were forcibly taken from home and family decades ago and are now being forced to relocate once again from the places they regard at home. The workshop will discuss ways by which some countries have creatively come up with solutions to enable the older generation to remain in the places that have become their homes. It will also discuss the importance of restoring family ties for the older generation and what is being done in some countries to bring families together after decades of separation.
Finally, the workshop will look at the importance of preserving historic sites related to the history of leprosy and how places like Lo Sheng can be promoted as important national historic monuments or world heritage sites to ensure that this most important history is preserved in Taiwan and throughout the world.

III. BACKGTOUND

Since the earlier years of last century, Hansen’s disease patients had been segregated due to Colonialism and Imperialism, such as in the United States, England, Spain, Portugal, Japan, France, and other places. At that time, some countries in order to eliminate this disease, patients were drifted away in the ocean. In the United States, patients once sent to Kalaupapa, Hawaii and Culion Islands, Philippines and these islands were turned into Leprosy Communities segregated with the rest of the countries. Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlements was built in 1930 by British Government in Malaysia. Japanese Colonial Government also built several sanatoriums in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and other places to segregate patients.

These segregation policies made the public in the world panic and discriminate against leprosy patience’s and their families and affected hundreds of thousands people for over a century, many people lived in stigma without human rights and dignity. This is a dark page in human history.

We discovered that some kinds of those segregation sites even more early than Nazi's concentration camp which UNESCO have designated to be the World Heritage for educating the next generations.

A fames historian, Michel. Foucault had talking about the background and symbolisms of such segregation policies for leprosy in” Madness & Civilization”. It was indicating that the global leprosy segregated sites are very important for the development of human civilization to thinking one more and more again.” What his words also indicating the history and the memory sites are very worth to be appointed to be the World Heritages.

In the 17th world leprosy congress 2008 in India, many Countries reported were engaged in cultural heritages preservation with their segregation sites for Hansen’s Disease, such as Brazil, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Portugal etc. These segregation sites once like Nazi's concentration camp but now people there always force evictions because of the developments with economics.

From 2004 the residents who lived in Lo-Sheng Sanatorium more over one-half scenery in Taiwan, started campaign for save their Sanatorium and Appeal to human rights. One more and more times fight the force evictions from Taipei MRT Company and government, event appeal to social people and international NGOs, the ex-patients, lawyers, communions and members in IDEA all over the world to help to Protect the Sanatorium, which was built in 1930 by Japan colonial government in Taiwan.

We believed Lo-Sheng like other HD segregation sites all over the World are all worth to be appointed as World Heritages left to posterity, but unfortunately, at the end of 2008, December 3, there were almost 500 polices began to force to evict the left residents . The two sides deadlocked for 1 hour to exhaust all efforts, at the end, the left residents , about 40 elder persons, had been related to another area at the top edge of the hill slope angle, MAT company made Residents and the left 34 monuments buildings was surrounded by layers of barbed wire. This case is a serious persecution for the leprosy ex-patients, all leprosy elders’ human rights and the right of residence.

Before April,2009 It will be in urgent once again, the authorities of central and local governments remain will build MRT on our sanatorium and continue to destroyed 9 buildings, Lo-Sheng maybe will disappear at that time.

Moreover, there are also have more and more eviction cases happened in other countries with HD ex-patients all over the world, such as Sudan and Sungai Buloh, Leprosy Settlement in Malaysia from 2007.

We think just through” International Workshop & Symposium “we can appeal to more of the international social supports and let UNESCO, WHO, ICOMOS to note those crisis recently.

IV. OBJECTIVES

1 Invite HD ex-patients who continued engaged the topics, such as Brazil, India, the Philippines, Malaysia ,South Korea, Japan, Hawaii US,UK, Norway, Portugal, Nigeria, Sudan,etc as we know to exchange experiences.

2 Invite international organization who concerned the topics, such asWHO, UNESCO, ICOMOS, NIPPON FOUNDATION, ILA, IDEA, ILEP, CHORE.etc to be the participators and to be the organizers of this program.

3 Collaborative partnerships in favors of World Heritage conservation, talking about what will we do to follow-up after the workshop & Symposiums to connect a Global Network in future.
