The Scholars at Risk Network issued a letter to the Chinese government urging for the immediate release of Min Zin, a U.S. citizen and Political Science Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, who was detained by authorities while attending an academic workshop at a Chinese university. As an association that represents over 10,000 U.S. and internationally based professors, practitioners, and students of political science, APSA expresses support for the Scholars at Risk Network letter and echoes the call for the immediate and unconditional release of Min Zin.
