全球中國問題學者聯署致習近平李克強公開信 籲善待研究者放冯崇义回澳洲

【博闻社】中共國家安全部門拘押回國的澳洲悉尼科技大教授冯崇义，並以“危害國家安全部”為名對他拘留，不讓他出境，引起世界研究中國問題的學術界憂慮。一批國際學者近日聯署至公開信中國國家主席習近平和總理李克強，呼籲中國當局善待研究者，讓馮回悉尼與家人團聚。

馮崇義教授3月4日回国，23日回欲返回澳洲时在广州机场被拦截，之后，每天被中國安全人員约谈。中國官方已經證實，馮崇義因涉嫌“危害國家安全”被安全部門調查。

美国之音报道称，被天津国安当局以“危害国家安全”为由阻止出境、困在广州一家酒店近一周的澳大利亚华裔学者的冯崇义，星期四（30日）下午继续接受国安人员的问话。

接受委托处理冯崇义被扣事件的两名广州律师向天津国安局申请信息公开，要求出具禁止他离境的理由及书面通知。

冯崇义是温和而极具正义感的学者，他关心中国社会，对中共没有绝望而努力促进改革。他被阻出境引起海内外學術界极大关注。

一批國際知名研究中國問題的專家學者，聯署給習近平、李克強致信，要求釋放馮崇義。博闻社周四晚11点（北京时间）发稿时，已经有53名来自全球的学者教授联合签名，而签名仍在快速增加。

聯署信指，我們是全球研究中國問題的學者成員。最近我們對悉尼科技大學馮崇義教授的旅行限制深感關切，有關部門上週阻止他離開中華人民共和國，返回到他工作和居住的悉尼。

公開信指，馮教授是國際知名的中國現代與當代中國知識與政治發展學者。他是一些開創性書籍的作者，也是澳大利亞媒體重要問題的常客評論員。此外，他還是全球中國研究界的重要貢獻者，他在澳大利亞的業務大大增強了中國研究的學習和研究環境。

我們感到不安的是，一位致力於促進對中國的了解和興趣的研究員，除了作為中國研究學者的認真工作外，沒有任何理由不讓他返回家園和工作場所。

中國有關部門這些行動，使我們難以對今天中國的研究環境充滿信心，事件對於繼續建設中國與世界其他地區開放，高效的高等教育合作沒有積極的貢獻。

公開信呼籲，鑑於中國承諾拓展國際學術交流活動，我們恭請中國有關部門讓馮教授獲釋並准許返回工作崗位，並回去他在悉尼的家，與他的家人團聚聚。

公开信英文全文如下：

An open letter to President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Keqiang

Dear President Xi and Prime Minister Li,

We the undersigned are members of the global China Studies community. We are deeply concerned by the travel restrictions recently placed upon Professor Feng Chongyi of the University of Technology Sydney, which have prevented him from departing the People’s Republic of China and returning to his workplace and family in Sydney since last week.

Professor Feng is an internationally respected scholar of intellectual and political developments in modern and contemporary China. He is the author of a number of groundbreaking books, and a frequent commentator on issues of importance in the Australian media. He is, furthermore, a vital contributor to the global China Studies community, and his presence in Australia has significantly enhanced its learning and research environments in Chinese Studies.

We are disturbed that a fellow researcher, who has dedicated himself to promote the understanding of and interest in China, has been prevented from returning to his home and workplace for no reason other than his conscientious work as a China Studies scholar. Such actions make it difficult for the rest of us to be confident in the research environment in China today, anddo not contribute positively to the continued construction of open and productive higher education collaboration between China and the rest of the world.

In light of China’s commitment to expanding international scholarly engagements, we respectfully request that Professor Feng be released and permitted to return to his workplace and home in Sydney.
