以下是呼吁书全文译文:
作者:受难学者机构(Scholars at Risk) 国家:中国
发布:受难学者机构 发布日期:2013年2月12日
受难学者机构关注有关伊力哈木·土赫提教授欲前往美国在印第安纳大学从事访问学者却被禁止离开中国的相关报道。伊力哈木·土赫提是一名中国的公共知识分子、经济学专家。
受难学者机构吁求各位分别通过信件、传真和电子邮件的形式敦促中国当局调查此事,并公开解释伊力哈木·土赫提被限制出境的情况,如果没有官方限制,则加快批准伊力哈木·土赫提未获批准的或以后将要提出的出行请求。
受难学者机构(SAR)是由34个国家的300多所高等院校组成的国际组织,该组织致力于促进学术自由以及其成员的思想、主张、结社、出行自由。若上述自由遭到侵犯,受难学者机构干预其中,以期顺利地澄清和解决问题。
伊力哈木教授是在北京的中央民族大学教授。他应印第安纳大学邀请前往美国从事为期一年的访问学者。受难学者机构了解到,2月2日伊力哈木教授及其女儿欲前往美国,却在北京首都国际机场受阻。报道显示,伊力哈木教授及其女儿在过安检时被警方拦住。此外,受难学者机构获悉伊力哈木教授与女儿被扣押在不同的房间,而其女儿被允许登上下一班飞机前往美国。经10小时扣押后,伊力哈木教授被送回家中,但当局未做任何解释。
自由交流思想是最基本的人权,也是整个学术界的价值标准。自由出行则是思想得以自由交流的重要途径。中国签署了《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》,应保护言论自由,保护自由出行和学术交流的权力。伊力哈木·土赫提被禁止前往美国印第安纳大学从事访问学者,他的上述权力没有得到尊重和保障。在没有说明任何理由的情况下,限制伊力哈木·土赫提出境引起了外界严重关切。外界不仅对伊力哈木·土赫提未能在他的研究领域与其他学者合作感到担忧,而且对中国的知识分子普遍受到恐吓以及他们在这种环境下未能与国际顶尖学者交流而感到担忧。这些是受难学者机构非常担忧的提出的建议,因为中国的知识分子拥有悠久丰富的历史;中国和中国的大学、学者在21世纪促进知识、研究以及学术的发展过程中应发挥重要的作用。
因此,受难学者机构恭敬地敦促中国当局调查并公开解释伊力哈木·土赫提被限制出境的情况,如果没有官方限制,则加快批准伊力哈木·土赫提未获批准的或以后将要提出的出行请求。
受难学者机构邀请各位发送信件、电子邮件和传真:
--诚挚地敦促有关当局调查此事;
--诚挚地敦促有关当局调查并公开解释伊力哈木·土赫提被限制出境的情况,如果没有官方限制,则加快批准伊力哈木·土赫提未获批准的或以后将要提出的出行请求。

英文原文:
Title: Scholars at Risk calls for letters on behalf of Professor Ilham Tohti of China
Publication: SAR Press Release
Author: Scholars at Risk
Country: China
Published Date: February 12, 2013
Scholars at Risk is concerned over public reports that Professor Ilham Tohti, a public intellectual and economics professor from China, was denied permission to leave China to take up a position as a Visiting Scholar at Indiana University in the United States.
SAR asks for letters, faxes and emails respectfully urging the appropriate authorities to inquire into the matter and explain publicly the circumstances of any restrictions on Professor Tohti’s travel or, if there are no official restrictions, to expedite approval of any pending or future travel requests.
Scholars at Risk (SAR) is an international network of over 300 universities and colleges in 34 countries dedicated to promoting academic freedom and its constituent freedoms of thought, opinion, expression, association and travel. In cases involving alleged infringement of these freedoms, SAR intervenes hoping to clarify and resolve matters favorably.
Professor Tohti is a professor at the Central Minorities University in Beijing, and he was invited by Indiana University to take up a one-year position as a Visiting Scholar. Scholars at Risk understands that Professor Tohti and his daughter attempted to depart for the United States on February 2nd but were prevented from boarding an outbound plane from Beijing Capital International Airport. Reports indicate that Professor Tohti and his daughter were going through airport security checks when they were stopped by police. Furthermore, SAR understands that Professor Tohti and his daughter were held in separate interrogation rooms, and while Professor Tohti’s daughter was permitted to depart for the United States on a later flight, Professor Tohti was held in custody for 10 hours, before being sent back to his apartment without explanation.
Free exchange of ideas is one of the most basic human rights and values of all academic communities. Freedom of travel is one of the most important avenues for furthering such exchange among academic colleagues. Recognizing this, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which China is a signatory, protects freedom of expression, right to travel and scientific exchange. Public reports that Professor Tohti was denied permission to travel to take up a position at Indiana University suggest that these rights have not been respected. Therefore, in the absence of any clearly legitimate, publicly expressed grounds for doing so, the apparent restricting of Professor Tohti’s travel suggests serious concerns not only about his ability to engage with colleagues in his field, but also about intimidation of intellectuals generally in China and about the ability to conduct world-class scholarship in such an environment. These are suggestions SAR finds particularly distressing given both China’s rich intellectual history and the important role that China and Chinese universities and scholars in particular should play in the development of knowledge, research and scholarship in the 21st century.
Scholars at Risk therefore respectfully urges the appropriate authorities to investigate the situation and to explain publicly the circumstances of any restrictions on Professor Tohti’s travel or, if there are no official restrictions, to expedite approval of any pending or future travel requests.
Scholars at Risk invites letters, emails and faxes be sent:
- respectfully urging the appropriate authorities to investigate the situation;
- respectfully urging the appropriate authorities to explain publicly the circumstances of any restrictions on Professor Tohti’s travel; or, if there are no official restrictions, to expedite approval of any pending or future travel requests.
