一朵浪花感言:
多年前有李文和案， 还有一个国会报告(cox report)指控多少中国留学人员为间谍。在中美两国世界格局下，最近越来越多针对华人的起诉， 我们必须警觉。必须要通过各种渠道告诉美国政界，司法界，华裔的利益需要保护。
国会山华人代表Judy Chu 和 Ted Lieu 要和Attorney Genral Loretta Lynch 会面讨论，关注这些案件， 关注司法部作为。 时间定于11/18日。
其他华裔人权组织会持续关注。
For Chinese American groups concerned about our rights. There was a conference call this morning with Congressional members Judy Chu and Ted Lieu about the racial profile cases against Sherry Chen and Professor Xi. They will have a meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on 11/18 and a prior press conference on 11/17. While it is not likely to yield any significant immediate result, such as an apology, it is important in putting the Justice Department on notice that someone is keeping an eye on them in the future.
Attending the conference call were the major Chinese American civil rights organizations,
mostly those with experience going back to the Wen Ho Lee case.
These are the key outcome of the call: 1) the meeting with Attorney General on 11/18 as above and the preceding press conference on 11/17. 2) we need to outreach to civil rights establishment outside of Chinese American community. 3) proposed an organized effort to have local educational events for Chinese American scientists (and others) on how to protect themselves. APAPA Bay Area will host such a forum, supported by experts from the Committee of 100, early next year. 4) Ongoing task force to monitor future events. One additional thought I have is to support the legal defense fund to show our community cares and will help those of us who are unfairly treated, as well as seeking damages from those responsible for their plight due to their negligence.
