UN chief appeals for global action against coronavirus-fueled hate speech
UNITED NATIONS, May 09 (APP): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Friday called for concerted global action to quash the “tsunami” of hate speech that has risen alongside the coronavirus pandemic.
“COVID-19 does not care who we are, where we live, what we believe or about any other distinction. We need every ounce of solidarity to tackle it together. Yet the pandemic continues to unleash a tsunami of hate and xenophobia, scapegoating and scare-mongering”, he said.
