Trial reveals federal agents falsely accused a UT professor born in China of spying
https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2021/06/15/659156/US-agents-falsely-accused-professor-of-espionage-for-China
Armed with a Chinese press release translated on the fly via Google, federal agents falsely accused an internationally-renown welding technology expert at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville of being a spy and brought him to professional ruin.
FBI Agent Kujtim Sadiku admitted last week in an ongoing trial in Knoxville that federal agents:
- Falsely accused former UTK associate professor Dr. Anming Hu of being a Chinese spy.
- Falsely implicated him as an operative for the Chinese military in meetings with Hu’s bosses
- Used false information to put Hu on the federal no-fly list.
- Spurred U.S. customs agents to seize Hu’s computer and phone and spread word throughout the international research community that Hu was poison.
- Used false information to justify putting a team of agents to spy on Hu and his son, a freshman at UTK, for nearly two years.
- Used false information to press Hu to become a spy for the U.S. government.
-
All agents who made this false accusation should be put in jail awaiting trial.
Law enforcement has the highest responsibility to uphold the law along with the courts.
Until people go to jail, this crap will continue.
-
Whatever maximum sentence Hu faced should be what the false accusers should serve.
How many more cases against professors and researchers from China are also bogus? There have been a bunch the past few years, and they need to be reviewed.

Chinese researcher accused of spying under DOJ initiative acquitted of all charges
https://news.yahoo.com/chinese-researcher-accused-spying-under-013533821.html (https://news.yahoo.com/chinese-researcher-accused-spying-under-013533821.html)
A federal judge on Thursday acquitted Chinese Canadian researcher Anming Hu of all fraud charges, bringing to a close the government's controversial first trial under the Justice Department's China Initiative.
...
What they're saying: "[E]ven viewing all the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, no rational jury could conclude that defendant acted with a scheme to defraud NASA" in failing to disclose his affiliation with the Beijing University of Technology to UTK, U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan wrote in the decision.
* The judge added "there was no evidence presented that defendant ever collaborated with a Chinese university in conducting his NASA-funded research, or used facilities, equipment, or funds from a Chinese university in the course of such research."
Where does Anming Hu go to get back the past 2 or 3 years of his life stolen from him by paranoid lying FBI agents? And to get his career rebuilt?
