Discrimination During COVID-19 (3) The pandemic aggravated the issue of undocumented migrant workers, and strict border controls increased travel costs, resulting in an imbalance between the supply of and demand for migrant workers, the hinderance of the repatriation process for workers and their children, and prolonged detention due to the uncertainty of return dates to home countries. The government has an obligation not only to deal with the problem of undocumented workers and their repatriation and detention,14 but also to advise detention shelters to refer them to social workers for counseling and provide timely psychological assistance to those who are detained. (4) In addition to incorporating migrant workers into the pandemic prevention system on an equal basis, the government should improve group accommodations, which made it difficult to effectively prevent pandemic spread, to ensure the fundamental human rights of migrant workers and reduce risks to their health. (5) Personal freedom is a fundamental right. Despite the government’s insistence that preventive measures treated all students equally regardless of nationality, some schools strictly controlled campus access for as long as three months due to heightened alerts, which not only restricted students’ personal freedom, but also affected their physical and mental health and right to work. Therefore, even though governmental and school preventive measures and management were intended to protect the safety of students, they should carefully consider the circumstances of foreign students in order not to infringe on their personal freedom and other rights. 14 A migrant worker service organization stated in the NHRC discussion meeting with civil society organizations (2022, Nov 3) that it had assisted an undocumented migrant worker who was seized and taken to a detention center. During detention, he lost control of his emotions and hit the television in the premises with a kettle lid because his return home was postponed for so long due to the pandemic. Forcibly suppressed by the staff while already suffering from the longterm restriction of his personal freedom, he became even more emotional. The worker was physically and mentally traumatized, and left mentally unstable. The detention center pressed charges against him for offenses such as assault and destruction of public property (see Case No. 4002 of the New Taipei District Court, dated November 16, 2021 ( 新北地院 110 簡字 4002); Case No. 69 of the New Taipei District Court, dated April 6, 2022 ( 新北地院 111 簡字 69); Criminal Summary Judgment of Case No. 576 of the New Taipei District Court, dated February 16, 2022 ( ���北地院 111 簡字 576)). 13
