During the 44th session of the Human Rights Council, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights — Michelle Bachelet <\/strong>issued a statement where it was pointed that,<\/p>\n

\n

In\u00a0Sri Lanka<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0India,<\/strong>\u00a0members of the Muslim minority are being targeted by stigma and hate speech associating them with COVID-19.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Expressing her dismay by reports indicating that in many countries, members of minority communities and migrants face increasing stigmatisation \u2013 including, in some cases, by officials, she also added that,<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0In\u00a0Bulgaria<\/strong>, Roma people have been stigmatised as a public health threat, with some local authorities setting up checkpoints around Roma settlements to enforce lockdowns. In\u00a0Pakistan<\/strong>, hate speech against religious minorities remains virulent. Stigmatization and threats against people presumed to be infected by COVID-19 have also been reported in\u00a0Haiti<\/strong>,\u00a0Iraq<\/strong>\u00a0and many other countries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a debate, Council rightly highlighted the importance of\u00a0principled and non-discriminatory policing\u00a0<\/strong>in upholding human rights.<\/p>\n

Discrimination kills. Depriving people of their social and economic rights, kills. And these deaths and harms damage all of society. COVID-19 is like a heat-seeking device that exposes, and is fuelled by, systemic failures to uphold human rights.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
