冯崇义回澳受阻,全球学者写信给习近平、李克强
澳洲悉尼科技大教授冯崇义3月4日回国，23日回澳洲时在广州机场被拦截，之后，每天被约谈。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极大关注。到博闻社周四晚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，签名仍在快速增加。
公开信对冯教授被限制旅行自由表示深切担忧，这使他无法返回工作岗位。公开信指出，冯教授倾力促进（全球）对中国的认识和兴趣，只是因为他具有良 知的工作而阻拦他回到工作岗位，这让我们其他人很难对中国的研究环境有信心，也不利于中国和世界高等教育的交流（大意）。
公开信全文如下：
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.
