Wronged scientist says battle still on

Chinese-American scientist Sherry Chen, who was wrongfully arrested and
fired due to baseless spying claims several years ago, said on Friday that
she will continue to fight until she is reinstated.
Three and a half years after Chen's arrest, Chief Administrative Judge
Michele Schroeder of the Merit Systems Protection Board ruled last week that
Chen was the "victim of a gross injustice".
The judge ordered the US Commerce Department to resume her employment at the
National Weather Service (NWS) and pay her back pay plus benefits.
"It's wonderful. I'm so relieved and glad that justice finally prevailed,"
Chen said at a press conference hosted by the Committee of 100 on Friday in
Santa Clara, California.
"However, the department has told the media it will appeal the ruling, so
the battle is still on," she told China Daily after the press conference.
Chen, an employee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
under the NWS, was accused in 2014 of stealing sensitive information from a
database for the nation's dams and lying about the breach.
Despite the fact that US federal prosecutors dropped the charges against her
in March 2015, her employer terminated her employment in March 2016 for the
same reason in the federal case.
Steve Simon, the attorney representing Chen, told reporters through Skype
that Chen's case was not just unfair treatment by her employer and the
government, but also a "scandal".
He urged the department of commerce to "do the right thing" so as to put an
end to the whole thing.
While she was "horribly wronged" and an "innocent life was ruined", the
person who reported on her was promoted to an executive position in the
department of commerce, she said. | s******r
