在学术界和人权界,有越来越多的说法称,中国政府对研究维吾尔族的学者所施加的压力和学术限制,甚至已经扩大到了西方学术机构。
最近几天在欧洲学术界被广泛讨论的Laura Murphy教授的案例,就是这些指控的最新例证。
据国际新闻媒体报道,由于中国政府的威胁和商业压力,位于英国的谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学(Sheffield Hallam University)因向Laura Murphy教授施压而受到审查,Laura Murphy教授在过去两年中一直在进行人权和现代奴役方面的研究,而此次审查是源于她针对维吾尔族相关的工作。
英国广播公司(BBC)和《卫报》(The Guardian)根据2022年至2024年的大学内部通信进行报道,揭示了该大学被迫在其商业利益和学术自由之间做出选择。
2022年,中国政府因为Murphy教授对维吾尔族强迫劳动的研究,限制了该大学可以与中国学生连接的网站和通信网络。2024年4月,三名中国国家安全部官员访问了该大学在中国的办公室,对工作人员就未来的研究课题进行了两个小时的讯问,并明确表示该大学的网站在中国被屏蔽是由于“对维吾尔族强迫劳动的研究”。
同年,中国政府谴责Murphy教授关于强迫劳动的研究是“诽谤”,并提出了正式投诉。在该诉讼之后,该大学援引正在进行的法律程序,宣布不会公布该研究的发现。
在2025年初,该大学表示将暂停对维吾尔族强迫劳动的研究,理由是“研究保险覆盖范围到期以及其对英国员工的责任”。
Murphy教授提起了法律上诉,以便她主要由维吾尔族人组成的研究团队能够继续他们的工作。在国际媒体介入后,谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学正式道歉并允许她恢复研究。
当该事件在西方媒体获得关注时,我与Laura Murphy教授进行了交谈。她说她将继续对与维吾尔族强迫劳动相关的某些技术和战略基础设施进行研究,并补充说,许多研究维吾尔族问题的突厥学家都害怕来自大学行政部门的压力。她表示:“我希望我们大学发生的这件事能作为一个例子,防止行政人员再次干涉我们记录和反对压迫维吾尔族社区的自由。”
社会学家兼欧洲维吾尔研究所所长Dilnur Reyhan博士在一次采访中告诉我,欧洲国家研究和高等教育资金的减少,使得大学越来越依赖富裕的、威权主义的国家——这种令人不安的局面一直在加深,尤其是在盎格鲁-撒克逊世界。她评论道:“Laura Murphy教授身上发生的事情,对那些自视为自由捍卫者的西欧国家来说,是巨大的耻辱。”
著名维吾尔族知识分子和研究员Abduweli Ayup表示,Laura Murphy是少数坚持不懈揭露中国现代奴役政策的西方学者之一。他认为,该大学在中国面前的退缩无异于接受奴役,他补充说:“没有学术自由,就没有科学。不捍卫学术自由,我们就无法抵制势力范围。不抵制势力范围,我们就无法反对威权主义。我们希望此类事件永远不会再发生。”
该大学因涉嫌直接与中国情报机构谈判,以维持进入利润丰厚的中国学生市场的渠道,而面临来自人权倡导者和学术界的严厉批评。
中国对西方学术机构日益增长的影响力,意味着对敏感话题的审查更加严格,对研究人员的恐吓也日益加剧。
人权观察组织的中国专家Yalqun Ulughyo’l指出,近年来,中国“正在利用各种方法,通过利用民主国家的法律机制来压制海外活动家、批评性学者和维吾尔族人。”他补充说:“这些最近的事件对世界各国来说是一个强烈的警告。各国政府必须保护学者和活动家免受中国跨国镇压策略的侵害。”
Laura Murphy强调,西方机构应立即向地方当局报告外国政府的威胁,并将解决权留给本国政府。她补充说:
“我从我的维吾尔族同事那里汲取灵感,他们因拒绝保持沉默而付出了更高的代价。我将通过我的研究继续支持他们。我们不能允许中国掩盖其行为。仔细且有充分记录的研究现在比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
中国对研究维吾尔族的西方研究人员的威胁和限制早已为人所知。丹麦人类学家Rune Steenberg曾对维吾尔族拘留营进行研究,他被禁止进入中国。2025年,他还被拒绝进入哈萨克斯坦。Steenberg表示,中国试图通过威胁、间谍活动和恐吓来阻挠从事维吾尔族问题研究的研究人员,他说:“受中国镇压影响最深的是海外的突厥民族,例如维吾尔族和哈萨克族。我们知道与我合作或交谈的人——以及他们的家人——受到了中国的伤害。这些压力使我们的研究变得越来越困难。”
Steenberg还指出,中国当局一直积极试图阻止通过欧盟区域发展项目资助的维吾尔族研究,但欧盟和帕拉茨基大学(Palacký University)都拒绝屈服于北京的威胁。
Dilnur Reyhan博士因中国驻法国大使馆的投诉而接受了三年的审判,她表示中国正试图通过欧洲机构操纵和利用学术自由的概念。她表示:
“针对我的威胁旨在阻止我通过我的著作、讲座和会议揭露中国政府的真面目——它的罪行。我们必须利用一切可用的法律手段,抵制中国利用其金融影响力破坏欧洲大学学术自由的企图。”
最后,尽管人权捍卫者和研究维吾尔族问题的突厥学家面临的压力日益增加,种类和严重程度也在加剧,但西方政府和法律机构尚未就如何保护这些学者的安全和学术自由发表明确声明。

维吾尔强迫劳动法案已经通过了有一年时间,美国国土安全部发表声明:"阻止强迫劳动商品,保障合法商品贸易" 全文如下.
Statement on First Anniversary of President Biden Signing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into LawRelease Date: December 23, 2022DHS is working diligently to prevent the importation of forced labor-made goods from Xinjiang while facilitating lawful trade
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues its diligent enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its leadership of the federal government’s Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF). In the year since President Biden signed the UFLPA into law with overwhelming bipartisan support, DHS has spearheaded collaborations with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), industry, and federal p. artners to keep goods made with forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) out of U.S. commerce, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade. As of December 6, 2022, CBP has identified over 2,300 entries valued at nearly $740 million for further examination under the UFLPA, and held hundreds of meetings with importers to clarify the adjudication process.
“The use of forced labor is a heinous act and our Department will continue to devote its full energy to combat it,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “The enforcement of the UFLPA is a moral imperative; we will continue to prevent goods produced by forced labor, particularly through the repression of ethnic minorities in China, from entering the United States. We will uphold our nation’s values, enforce our laws, and protect the integrity of lawful trade and the rights of the individual worker.”
“Forced labor is a scourge and DHS will continue to prevent goods made with forced labor from entering the United States, whether they come from the People’s Republic of China or any other part of the world,” said DHS Under Secretary for Policy and FLETF Chair Robert Silvers. “We are committed to eradicating forced labor from our supply chains. We are also committed to deepening our partnership with industry and civil society to further improve implementation of this new regime, ensuring that lawful commerce can proceed efficiently at the same time that we enforce our laws.”
“CBP is committed to eliminating forced labor from supply chains and shining a spotlight on global human rights,” said CBP Acting Commissioner Troy A. Miller. “This means goods directly from or connected to forced labor are prohibited from entering the United States unless the importer can demonstrate that its imports do not include any goods made from forced labor in any part of its supply chain.”
Following the publication on June 21, 2022 of the FLETF’s Strategy to Prevent the Importation of Goods Mined, Produced, or Manufactured with Forced Labor in the People’s Republic of China (UFLPA Strategy), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began enforcement of the UFLPA’s presumption that goods sourced from the XUAR or an entity on the UFLPA Entity List are made with forced labor and therefore prohibited from entering the United States. Implementation of the UFLPA followed months of extensive engagement with members of the trade and civil society communities. Since then, the FLETF and CBP have continued to engage with industry and civil society through meetings, public forums, and roundtables. The FLETF is planning to continue this engagement by hosting its first biannual meeting with NGOs in January, which will be followed by the first biannual meeting with the private sector.
In the coming year, DHS will continue enhancing its UFLPA enforcement efforts, including by identifying additional entities that meet the criteria of the UFLPA Entity List, improving transparency and regular data sharing with the private sector and NGOs, and continuing to improve DHS’s ability to identify and prohibit imports made wholly or in part with forced labor in U.S. supply chains.

“The use of forced labor is a heinous act and our Department will continue to devote its full energy to combat it,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “The enforcement of the UFLPA is a moral imperative; we will continue to prevent goods produced by forced labor, particularly through the repression of ethnic minorities in China, from entering the United States. We will uphold our nation’s values, enforce our laws, and protect the integrity of lawful trade and the rights of the individual worker.”
“Forced labor is a scourge and DHS will continue to prevent goods made with forced labor from entering the United States, whether they come from the People’s Republic of China or any other part of the world,” said DHS Under Secretary for Policy and FLETF Chair Robert Silvers. “We are committed to eradicating forced labor from our supply chains. We are also committed to deepening our partnership with industry and civil society to further improve implementation of this new regime, ensuring that lawful commerce can proceed efficiently at the same time that we enforce our laws.”
“CBP is committed to eliminating forced labor from supply chains and shining a spotlight on global human rights,” said CBP Acting Commissioner Troy A. Miller. “This means goods directly from or connected to forced labor are prohibited from entering the United States unless the importer can demonstrate that its imports do not include any goods made from forced labor in any part of its supply chain.”
Following the publication on June 21, 2022 of the FLETF’s Strategy to Prevent the Importation of Goods Mined, Produced, or Manufactured with Forced Labor in the People’s Republic of China (UFLPA Strategy), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began enforcement of the UFLPA’s presumption that goods sourced from the XUAR or an entity on the UFLPA Entity List are made with forced labor and therefore prohibited from entering the United States. Implementation of the UFLPA followed months of extensive engagement with members of the trade and civil society communities. Since then, the FLETF and CBP have continued to engage with industry and civil society through meetings, public forums, and roundtables. The FLETF is planning to continue this engagement by hosting its first biannual meeting with NGOs in January, which will be followed by the first biannual meeting with the private sector.
In the coming year, DHS will continue enhancing its UFLPA enforcement efforts, including by identifying additional entities that meet the criteria of the UFLPA Entity List, improving transparency and regular data sharing with the private sector and NGOs, and continuing to improve DHS’s ability to identify and prohibit imports made wholly or in part with forced labor in U.S. supply chains.

中国国安人员闯入英国大学办公室, 威胁停止维吾尔研究, 英国教授讲述亲身经历

在学术界和人权界,有越来越多的说法称,中国政府对研究维吾尔族的学者所施加的压力和学术限制,甚至已经扩大到了西方学术机构。
最近几天在欧洲学术界被广泛讨论的Laura Murphy教授的案例,就是这些指控的最新例证。
据国际新闻媒体报道,由于中国政府的威胁和商业压力,位于英国的谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学(Sheffield Hallam University)因向Laura Murphy教授施压而受到审查,Laura Murphy教授在过去两年中一直在进行人权和现代奴役方面的研究,而此次审查是源于她针对维吾尔族相关的工作。
英国广播公司(BBC)和《卫报》(The Guardian)根据2022年至2024年的大学内部通信进行报道,揭示了该大学被迫在其商业利益和学术自由之间做出选择。
2022年,中国政府因为Murphy教授对维吾尔族强迫劳动的研究,限制了该大学可以与中国学生连接的网站和通信网络。2024年4月,三名中国国家安全部官员访问了该大学在中国的办公室,对工作人员就未来的研究课题进行了两个小时的讯问,并明确表示该大学的网站在中国被屏蔽是由于“对维吾尔族强迫劳动的研究”。
同年,中国政府谴责Murphy教授关于强迫劳动的研究是“诽谤”,并提出了正式投诉。在该诉讼之后,该大学援引正在进行的法律程序,宣布不会公布该研究的发现。
在2025年初,该大学表示将暂停对维吾尔族强迫劳动的研究,理由是“研究保险覆盖范围到期以及其对英国员工的责任”。
Murphy教授提起了法律上诉,以便她主要由维吾尔族人组成的研究团队能够继续他们的工作。在国际媒体介入后,谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学正式道歉并允许她恢复研究。
当该事件在西方媒体获得关注时,我与Laura Murphy教授进行了交谈。她说她将继续对与维吾尔族强迫劳动相关的某些技术和战略基础设施进行研究,并补充说,许多研究维吾尔族问题的突厥学家都害怕来自大学行政部门的压力。她表示:“我希望我们大学发生的这件事能作为一个例子,防止行政人员再次干涉我们记录和反对压迫维吾尔族社区的自由。”
社会学家兼欧洲维吾尔研究所所长Dilnur Reyhan博士在一次采访中告诉我,欧洲国家研究和高等教育资金的减少,使得大学越来越依赖富裕的、威权主义的国家——这种令人不安的局面一直在加深,尤其是在盎格鲁-撒克逊世界。她评论道:“Laura Murphy教授身上发生的事情,对那些自视为自由捍卫者的西欧国家来说,是巨大的耻辱。”
著名维吾尔族知识分子和研究员Abduweli Ayup表示,Laura Murphy是少数坚持不懈揭露中国现代奴役政策的西方学者之一。他认为,该大学在中国面前的退缩无异于接受奴役,他补充说:“没有学术自由,就没有科学。不捍卫学术自由,我们就无法抵制势力范围。不抵制势力范围,我们就无法反对威权主义。我们希望此类事件永远不会再发生。”
该大学因涉嫌直接与中国情报机构谈判,以维持进入利润丰厚的中国学生市场的渠道,而面临来自人权倡导者和学术界的严厉批评。
中国对西方学术机构日益增长的影响力,意味着对敏感话题的审查更加严格,对研究人员的恐吓也日益加剧。
人权观察组织的中国专家Yalqun Ulughyo’l指出,近年来,中国“正在利用各种方法,通过利用民主国家的法律机制来压制海外活动家、批评性学者和维吾尔族人。”他补充说:“这些最近的事件对世界各国来说是一个强烈的警告。各国政府必须保护学者和活动家免受中国跨国镇压策略的侵害。”
Laura Murphy强调,西方机构应立即向地方当局报告外国政府的威胁,并将解决权留给本国政府。她补充说:
“我从我的维吾尔族同事那里汲取灵感,他们因拒绝保持沉默而付出了更高的代价。我将通过我的研究继续支持他们。我们不能允许中国掩盖其行为。仔细且有充分记录的研究现在比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
中国对研究维吾尔族的西方研究人员的威胁和限制早已为人所知。丹麦人类学家Rune Steenberg曾对维吾尔族拘留营进行研究,他被禁止进入中国。2025年,他还被拒绝进入哈萨克斯坦。Steenberg表示,中国试图通过威胁、间谍活动和恐吓来阻挠从事维吾尔族问题研究的研究人员,他说:“受中国镇压影响最深的是海外的突厥民族,例如维吾尔族和哈萨克族。我们知道与我合作或交谈的人——以及他们的家人——受到了中国的伤害。这些压力使我们的研究变得越来越困难。”
Steenberg还指出,中国当局一直积极试图阻止通过欧盟区域发展项目资助的维吾尔族研究,但欧盟和帕拉茨基大学(Palacký University)都拒绝屈服于北京的威胁。
Dilnur Reyhan博士因中国驻法国大使馆的投诉而接受了三年的审判,她表示中国正试图通过欧洲机构操纵和利用学术自由的概念。她表示:
“针对我的威胁旨在阻止我通过我的著作、讲座和会议揭露中国政府的真面目——它的罪行。我们必须利用一切可用的法律手段,抵制中国利用其金融影响力破坏欧洲大学学术自由的企图。”
最后,尽管人权捍卫者和研究维吾尔族问题的突厥学家面临的压力日益增加,种类和严重程度也在加剧,但西方政府和法律机构尚未就如何保护这些学者的安全和学术自由发表明确声明。

维吾尔强迫劳动法案已经通过了有一年时间,美国国土安全部发表声明:"阻止强迫劳动商品,保障合法商品贸易" 全文如下.
Statement on First Anniversary of President Biden Signing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into LawRelease Date: December 23, 2022DHS is working diligently to prevent the importation of forced labor-made goods from Xinjiang while facilitating lawful trade
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues its diligent enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its leadership of the federal government’s Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF). In the year since President Biden signed the UFLPA into law with overwhelming bipartisan support, DHS has spearheaded collaborations with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), industry, and federal p. artners to keep goods made with forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) out of U.S. commerce, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade. As of December 6, 2022, CBP has identified over 2,300 entries valued at nearly $740 million for further examination under the UFLPA, and held hundreds of meetings with importers to clarify the adjudication process.
“The use of forced labor is a heinous act and our Department will continue to devote its full energy to combat it,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “The enforcement of the UFLPA is a moral imperative; we will continue to prevent goods produced by forced labor, particularly through the repression of ethnic minorities in China, from entering the United States. We will uphold our nation’s values, enforce our laws, and protect the integrity of lawful trade and the rights of the individual worker.”
“Forced labor is a scourge and DHS will continue to prevent goods made with forced labor from entering the United States, whether they come from the People’s Republic of China or any other part of the world,” said DHS Under Secretary for Policy and FLETF Chair Robert Silvers. “We are committed to eradicating forced labor from our supply chains. We are also committed to deepening our partnership with industry and civil society to further improve implementation of this new regime, ensuring that lawful commerce can proceed efficiently at the same time that we enforce our laws.”
“CBP is committed to eliminating forced labor from supply chains and shining a spotlight on global human rights,” said CBP Acting Commissioner Troy A. Miller. “This means goods directly from or connected to forced labor are prohibited from entering the United States unless the importer can demonstrate that its imports do not include any goods made from forced labor in any part of its supply chain.”
Following the publication on June 21, 2022 of the FLETF’s Strategy to Prevent the Importation of Goods Mined, Produced, or Manufactured with Forced Labor in the People’s Republic of China (UFLPA Strategy), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began enforcement of the UFLPA’s presumption that goods sourced from the XUAR or an entity on the UFLPA Entity List are made with forced labor and therefore prohibited from entering the United States. Implementation of the UFLPA followed months of extensive engagement with members of the trade and civil society communities. Since then, the FLETF and CBP have continued to engage with industry and civil society through meetings, public forums, and roundtables. The FLETF is planning to continue this engagement by hosting its first biannual meeting with NGOs in January, which will be followed by the first biannual meeting with the private sector.
In the coming year, DHS will continue enhancing its UFLPA enforcement efforts, including by identifying additional entities that meet the criteria of the UFLPA Entity List, improving transparency and regular data sharing with the private sector and NGOs, and continuing to improve DHS’s ability to identify and prohibit imports made wholly or in part with forced labor in U.S. supply chains.

Statement on First Anniversary of President Biden Signing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into LawRelease Date: December 23, 2022DHS is working diligently to prevent the importation of forced labor-made goods from Xinjiang while facilitating lawful trade
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues its diligent enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its leadership of the federal government’s Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF). In the year since President Biden signed the UFLPA into law with overwhelming bipartisan support, DHS has spearheaded collaborations with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), industry, and federal p. artners to keep goods made with forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) out of U.S. commerce, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade. As of December 6, 2022, CBP has identified over 2,300 entries valued at nearly $740 million for further examination under the UFLPA, and held hundreds of meetings with importers to clarify the adjudication process.
“The use of forced labor is a heinous act and our Department will continue to devote its full energy to combat it,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “The enforcement of the UFLPA is a moral imperative; we will continue to prevent goods produced by forced labor, particularly through the repression of ethnic minorities in China, from entering the United States. We will uphold our nation’s values, enforce our laws, and protect the integrity of lawful trade and the rights of the individual worker.”
