Scholars at Risk Network Writes to Xi Jinping Urging Immediate Release of American Scholar Min Htin

On September 9, 2026, the Scholars at Risk Network released an email addressed to Xi Jinping, urging the Chinese government to immediately and unconditionally release the Burmese-American scholar Min Htin, who was detained at Kunming Airport on June 3 and later accused of suspected espionage. The email was also copied to several officials on both the Chinese and American sides. This is the second time in two weeks that the organization has spoken out for Min Htin.
