Stamp out discrimination

China Daily | Updated: 2010-04-29 07:55

Knowledge about HIV/AIDS has deepened and broadened to such an extent that previous practice prohibiting patients of the illness and other infectious diseases from entering our country contradicts our pledges to be open.

Article 99 of the detailed rules for the implementation of the country's Border Quarantine Law and clause 4 of article 7 of the Law on Control of the Entry and Exit of Foreigners are questionable on both medical and moral grounds.

They are also in conflict with the 2008 United Nations Human Rights Council resolution on the elimination of discrimination against leprosy patients, which our government has signed.
