Please support our joint petition to voice the rights of leprosy patients at the Lo Sheng Leprosarium (LSL) who were quarantined here by force for decades since 1929 during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan (1895-1945). Over 300 elderly patients, at age average seventy-five, are now issued to be relocated against their will (again) by the local government of Taiwan, to clear way for metro construction on the site of LSL.
The petition demands a hold to the metro construction and demands due respect to the human rights of the elderly leprosy patients who have spent most of their lives at LSL as their home and sanctuary.
