IFCSS Statement: We Condemn Chinese Students Who Harassed Uyghurs and Tibetans
February 14, 2019
The Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars in USA (IFCSS) is deeply concerned about some recent incidents at Duke University (United States), University College Dublin (Ireland), McMaster University (Canada), the University of Toronto (Canada), the University of Strasbourg (France) and in an Amsterdam square (the Netherlands), in which apparently organized pro-CCP (Chinese Communist Party) students harassed, abused and threatened Uyghur and Tibetan students, concerned scholars and activists. We strongly denounce these Chinese students’ efforts to stymie free speech and suppress the truth about the ongoing genocidal crimes committed by China's murderous regime. We ask US, Irish, Canadian, French and Dutch authorities to protect Uyghur and Tibetan students and scholars from intimidation on campus and guard their citizens of Uyghur and Tibetan backgrounds against foreign threats at home. We also urge relevant law enforcement agencies to look into possible criminal violations in these incidents and investigate any Chinese government ties that may have manipulated some Chinese student organizations into such violations.
全美学自联声明:谴责部分中国留学生骚扰维吾尔人、藏人及相关人士
2019年2月14日
鉴于最近在美国杜克大学、爱尔兰都柏林大学学院、加拿大麦克马斯特大学和多伦多大学、法国斯特拉斯堡大学、以及在荷兰阿姆斯特丹的广场,接连有显然是亲中共的中国留学生有组织骚扰、凌辱和威胁维吾尔和藏人学生、相关的学者和活动人士,全美中国学生学者自治联合会对此深表关注。这些中国学生试图压制言论自由来掩盖噬杀的中国政权正在进行的种族灭绝暴行,我们对此表示强烈谴责。我们要求美国、加拿大、法国、爱尔兰和荷兰当局保护维吾尔和藏人学生、学者免遭恐吓,并捍卫自己的维吾尔裔和藏裔公民在本土免遭外国威胁。我们敦促有关各国执法部门检视这些事件中可能的刑事犯罪,并调查中国政府是否操纵了肇事的中国学生组织进行这些活动。(注:学自联理事陆文禾反对本声明)
