While we support the government’s effort to investigate and prosecute
the stealing of government and corporate secrets, we are appalled by the
apparent pattern of singling out Chinese-Americans, without adequate
investigations, by federal law enforcement and prosecutors on the basis of
ethnicity in violation of their equal protection rights. Following are two
recent examples.
Five months after the arrest of Sherry Chen of National Weather
Service, the case was dismissed on the eve of her trial without explanation.
Similarly, Dr. Xiaoxing Xi, Chair of the Physics Dept. at Temple University
, was dragged from home with guns pointed at his wife and children. His case
was also dismissed by the court. The government’s evidence was not even
related to the technology it claimed to be. Chen and Dr. Xi’s reputation
and careers have been damaged irreparably and their families have suffered
mentally and financially.
We request the DOJ to conduct an independent investigation into the
cases of Sherry Chen, Dr. Xi, and other similar cases regarding whether race
, ethnicity, or national origin played an illegal role.
