親愛的捐助者和朋友們,
美國聯邦考績制度保護委員會(MSPB)于4月23日做出了關於陳霞芬起訴商務部不當解雇的判決。法官認爲陳霞芬是商務部“嚴重不公正”行爲的受害者
---- 其不公正之處是由於美國商務部的多個級別的官員處理不當所致。您可以在這里閲讀這份135頁的判決書的全文:http://bit.ly/MSPBDecisionText。
MSPB的裁決壓倒性地支持陳霞芬。 法官對處理陳霞芬案的頂級商務部高官們對事實眞相視而不見的做法頗爲不齒,説:“如果他們拒絶承認2 +
2 = 4,我也不會感到驚訝。” 在MSPB聽證會上,商務部的很多不堪的做法被披露出來。
例如:調查陳霞芬案的探員隱瞞、操縱相關證據;商務部的法律總顧問把十幾份對陳霞芬有利的宣誓證詞壓下,沒有提交給MSPB聽證會,而相關的負責官員對此不聞不問。
MSPB的判決是陳霞芬的長期維權戰鬥中的取得的一次艱難的勝利。先是在 2014年,政府以“爲中國下載機密數據”爲由錯誤地指控她,
2015年卻在開庭前一周主動撤訴;2016年,商務部竟然以相同的錯誤理由把她解雇。 陳霞芬勇敢地站出來,爲追求公平正義而向強大的政府抗爭
---- 她這樣做不僅是爲了自己,更是爲我們整個亞裔社區而抗爭。 您的支持對她達到這一重要里程碑至關重要。
除非商務部上訴,MSPB的判決將于5月28日全面生效。 然而,最近的種種迹象表明,商務部正在尋求延緩MSPB的判決的生效期,以準備上訴。商務部如果這么做,將無異于花費你我作爲的納稅人的錢來對陳霞芬繼續進行迫害
---- 這是多么可耻的、缺乏公平正義的舉動!
我已經代表陳霞芬法律維權基金會寫信(https://www.sherrychendefensefund.org/letter-to-ross.html)給商務部部長韋博羅斯,要求他執行MSPB的決定,並對MSPB所發現的問題展開徹底、獨立的調查。
我希望您也寫信給商務部羅斯部長,表達您的不滿。 不能再拖延還給陳霞芬公道的時間了!羅斯部長的電子郵件地址是WLRoss@doc.gov。
他的郵寄地址如下。
The Honorable Wilbur Ross

目前,我們正計劃于5月23日在華盛頓國會舉行新聞發佈會。我們眞誠邀請您參加這個活動。如果您聯繫了商務部羅斯部長,或者再次向陳霞芬法律維權基金捐款,請吿知我們。

Dear Donors and Friends,
The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) issued a decision on
Sherry’s appeal of the termination of her employment by the
Department of Commerce (DOC) on April 23. The judge concluded that
Sherry was the “victim of a gross injustice” and the injustice was
caused by mishandling of the case at multiple levels of DOC. You can
read the entire 135-page decision here (http://bit.ly/MSPBDecisionPage).
The MSPB ruling was overwhelmingly in favor of Sherry. Top DOC
officials in the case were described to be so blinded to the facts
that the judge said “I would not have been surprised if they
rejected that 2 + 2 = 4.” Scandalous activities in DOC were revealed
in the MSPB hearing.
For example, the investigative agent concealed and manipulated
relevant evidence, and the General Counsel excluded a dozen or so
sworn statements that are favorable to Sherry from the MSPB hearing
while the responsible officials stayed silent.
This is one hard-fought victory in a long battle for Sherry. She was
first wrongly accused of downloading confidential data for China in
2014 and then fired from her job in 2016 for the same justifications
used in the dismissed criminal case. Sherry is courageously fighting
not only for herself but also our entire community. Your support has
been crucial for her to reach this significant milestone.
The MSPB decision will become final on May 28 unless there is an
appeal. Recent indication is that DOC plans to seek an extension to
consider appealing. This would be an outrageously unfair and unjust
action by DOC to continue wasting taxpayers’ dollars from you and me
to persecute Sherry.
On behalf of the Sherry Chen Legal Defense Fund, I wrote to Commerce
Secretary Wilbur Ross (attached), requesting him to comply with the
MSPB decision and initiate a thorough and independent investigation
of the problems identified by the MSPB.
I urge you to write to Secretary Ross and express your displeasure
if DOC does not comply with the MSPB order. Justice for Sherry
should not be further delayed. His email address is WLRoss@doc.gov.
His mailing address is
The Honorable Wilbur Ross
Secretary of Commerce
U.S. Department of Commerce
1401 Constitution Ave NW
Washington, DC 20230
A press conference is being planned for the second half of May. It
will be held in Congress. You are invited to attend the event, let
us know of your message to Secretary Ross, and/or make a donation
again to the Sherry Chen Legal Defense Fund. Updates about this
event and progress of Sherry’s case will be posted at https://www.sherrychendefensefund.org/.
Thank you.
