On September 1, a Chinese citizen unfortunately passed away while being held in the Philippine Immigration Detention Center awaiting deportation. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines was deeply shocked and saddened by this, and made serious negotiations with the Philippines as soon as possible. It should be emphasized that the Chinese Embassy has previously reminded the Philippine Detention Center that the Chinese citizen is suffering from a serious underlying illness and that his health condition is at great risk. It clearly requires the Philippine Detention Center to pay great attention, pay close attention to his physical condition, and promptly take necessary medical treatment measures. The Chinese Embassy has requested the Philippines to immediately launch a full and impartial investigation into the incident, find out the truth as soon as possible, and make a full and objective report to the embassy. For acts of negligence or malfeasance of duty discovered in the investigation, the relevant personnel must be seriously investigated for responsibility. Life safety is the most basic human right. Life and basic human rights should be protected regardless of status and whether they are in custody or not. China urges the Philippines to take immediate and effective measures to ensure that the detainees receive necessary medical care and humanitarian treatment, and resolutely prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
