【新唐人2014年05月02日訊】新疆爆炸死者身份 官民說法不同
新疆烏魯木齊市火車站4月30號晚發生爆炸後，當局在現場增派了大批持槍巡邏警察，整個城市安保升級。烏魯木齊市民表示，對爆炸感到恐慌，不敢出門。當地醫院也對記者表示，政府下達了戒嚴令，不許向外透露傷者情況。
中共黨媒公布，事件造成3人死亡，其中1人是無辜群眾，2名犯罪嫌疑人當場被炸死。但是，當地民眾告訴本臺記者，有人看到，嫌犯在爆炸物引燃之前就跑掉了。
另外，大陸導演劉猛30號晚也在新浪微博實名發貼說：這三人都是民警，盤查可疑人員的時候，引爆了炸彈，把危險留給了自己。
不過，這條微博在被轉發了一萬多次之後，遭到刪除。

美芝加哥大學百教授驅逐孔子學院
美國芝加哥大學一百多名教授日前聯合簽名，呼籲院方今年秋天不再和中共官方機構「漢辦」續簽學校「孔子學院」的合同。簽名者包括政治系、歷史系、英語系、人類學系、比較文學系、統計系、戲劇媒體系等7個系的系主任。
請願書認為，中共政府機構「漢辦」控制的「孔子學院」，會使大學的學術課程受到中共對言論自由和信仰自由的政治鎮壓的影響。允許「孔子學院」的存在會有損「芝加哥大學」的聲譽，違反大學的學術價值。

Xinjiang Official Story of the Explosion Deaths.Misleading.
After the Urumqi Railway Station explosion on April 30, the
authorities dispatched a large number of armed patrols and
upgraded security.
Urumqi residents felt panic after the explosion and now are
afraid to go out.
Local hospitals also said that the government issued a
ban on disclosing the number of injured people.
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) media announced 3 deaths
from the incident including one bystander and two suspects.
However, local people told reporters that someone noticed
the suspects running away before igniting the explosives.
On April 30, mainland director Liu Meng posted using
his real name on Weibo that the 3 deaths were police who
risked detonating the bomb when interrogated the suspects.
However, this microblog was deleted but not before being
forwarded one million times.

Some Shanghai Petitioners Beaten For Protesting Against
the New Regulations
In Shanghai over two thousand petitioners protested in front
of the Shanghai municipal government since April 29 against
the new regulation of banned bypassing petitions.
They wrote on the banners: “The basic level stirs the paste;
the local government ignores;
the Central government doesn’t accept bypassing petitions;
new rules play you to death with no arguing, etc."
They called on the Chinese authorities to
remove the new regulations.
The actions generated high tension levels in Shanghai Municipal
Government and the petitioners were harshly repressed and
removed by thousands of police.
Many were beaten and arrested.
100 Professors at the University of Chicago Petition
to Close the Confucius Institute.
More than 100 Professors at the University of Chicago have
co-signed a petition calling on the Council of the University
Senate to vote to terminate the university’s contract with
Hanban’s Confucius Institute this autumn.
The petitioners include 7 chairs from the departments of:
Politics, History, English, Anthropology, Comparative
Literature, and Statistics.
The petitioners believed that the Confucius Institute under
the control of the Chinese government agency Hanban will
influence the university’s academic programs on speech and
belief using political pressure.
The existence of the Confucius Institute would undermine the
University of Chicago, violating academic value and reputation.
