Xu Yin, Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University, was arrested at his home by officers of the Public Security Bureau Hai Ding Branch on March 14th, 2006. The police also confiscated Xu Yin's Falun Gong materials. On April 13th Xu was sentenced to two years in forced labour camp by the "Re-education" Committee of the People's Government in Beijing.
Professor Xu earned many awards for his outstanding performance at work. He earned the titles of "Advanced Worker" and "Outstanding Young Teacher" several times. His contributions to the advancement of civil engineering won several academic awards at the city and national levels. Many students and professors at Tsinghua University greatly respect Professor Xu.
Simply for possessing Falun Gong books and pamphlets Xu Yin was stripped of his freedom and rights. Xu Yin's wife is believed to be working abroad now. After the arrest, Xu Yin's fourteen-year-old son was left at home alone. The grandparents, in their seventies, had to rush to Beijing all the way from southern China to look after the child. Xu Yin's father has serious eye disease, which was exacerbated when he learned of Xu Yin's arrest and he had to have surgery. Xu Yin's family is under immense pressure and lives in agony. Xu Yin's elderly parents asked the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua for help but received none. They then sought help from the Legal Support Centre and the Public Security Sub-Bureau with faith in justice and the law, but this attempt was also fruitless.
We hereby appeal to the entire community and conscientious people overseas to please pay attention to the human rights violations in China and especially the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong. Free Professor Xu Yin!
