《台灣與全球連結---國際理想、世界一家協力計劃》【募款信】
「2009台灣,全球漢生病人權保障與歷史紀念世界遺產保存登錄策略—國際工作坊及學術研討會」
經費募集中…因為您的贊助,促成樂生院與全球漢生病歷史紀念公衛世界遺產共同保存登錄…..。
若您長期關心樂生院,請不要錯過參與這次深具意義的活動
我們將募集至少一百位贊助者,盼涓滴匯流,眾志成城
一起寫下這頁世界漢生人權史,最感人美麗的篇章
各位朋友:

漢生病人在全世界被大規模隔離邊境,流放孤島的歷史,源於十九世紀末興起的帝國主義殖民地醫療公衛錯誤管理政策,根據WHO相關資訊得知,造成世界各地有數十萬病友以及家屬因此終生「以院/島」作家或流放邊境墾殖與世隔絕,並受到許多非人道對待,這種集中迫害病人異己的型態甚至更早於已列為世界遺產的波蘭納粹「奧許維斯猶太集中營」,相當不人道。禍延百年至今,是二戰後至今為決的重要人權侵害事件,世界人權組織紛起呼籲:你我不該漠視世界歷史如此黑暗的一頁。

晚近幾十年,在全世界也曾發生類似樂生院內漢生病友因為經濟開發,被迫驅離之事,而引發國際組織紛紛持續關切抗議,最終呼籲各國立法保障人權,居住權,保存史蹟見證無道歷史以留予後世反省誌念。經各界奔走多年,美國、韓國早已將隔離島設立國家公園以紀念這段歷史,保障人權。此外日本、菲律賓、巴西、挪威近年來也紛紛設立博物館記錄歷史。去年馬來西亞毛糯病院抵抗拆除運動,前週捎來佳音,已被成功被列入國家歷史保存項目,風行草偃另人相當振奮與安慰。

世界潮流驅向保存史蹟,台灣衛生署、台北捷運工程局及北縣文化局卻將於今年三月底前,(未作任何拆遷重組及世遺申報評估)卻急著粗暴地再持續拆除9棟樂生院區古蹟,擺明圖利捷運公司趕工,破壞歷史遺址完整全貌之事,已經引發各國關切。

國際愛地芽總會也因此呼籲聯合國及各地相關NGOs能於今年三月前來台灣關切樂生院民晚年人權及院區史蹟保存問題,並協助促成三月由本會(IDEA Taiwan分會)/樂生保留自救會主辦,台灣歷史資源協會,台大城鄉所及OURS專業者改革組織,崔媽媽基金會等協辦,在台北舉辦的「全球漢生病人權保障與歷史紀念世界遺產保存登錄策略—國際工作坊及學術研討會」,本次會議將邀集各國的工作者進行人權、醫療、與家屬關係等項目的經驗交流,並且探討未來串連全球「共同申請世界文化遺產」的可能性,活動相當具有意義。

目前已有美國、日本、韓國、亞塞拜然、馬來西亞、關島、挪威、巴西、中國、夏威夷等國二十幾位代表表明前來參加會議。曾擔任聯合國教科文組織顧問的西村幸夫先生也將出席本會議,針對「國際串連推動漢生人權地景入世界文化遺產」事項給予技術指導。

本工作坊希望能夠達到兩目標:
一、建立各國漢生人權處境的經驗交流國際聯繫網。
二、針對全球漢生病世界文化遺產的推動提出聯合宣言,並具體擬定國際聯合推動計畫。

由於來參加會議的多為多年來堅困求存、持續不卸的各國漢生病人權NOGS組織者,在經費拮拘下若希望來台與會多有困難,但本次會議相當有意義,多所期待參與。因此目前由IDEA Taiwan在台協助募款,須要募集約五十萬元機票費。因此台大劉可強教授率先贊助一萬元,並倡導以發起「台灣民眾贊助支持全球漢生病隔離史蹟共同登錄世界遺產」之全民運動方式,向長期關心樂生院人權史蹟的各位師長與朋友尋求贊助 (小額捐款無妨) 盼涓滴匯流,一起襄助經費拮拘組織者之機票,協助順利來台。活動由於由台灣發起,您的贊助將有機會促成未來全球漢生世界遺產指定,若能有成,也能略表台灣善盡國際公民之責,拓展國民外交網絡,增進台灣國際形象,意義非凡。

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.
