Scholar Jamyang Kyi Disappears

Jamyang Kyi, who was a Visiting Scholar here at CU from March-April 2006,
has been detained in Xining, either because of something in her blog about
women's issues or for people she met here at Columbia. Amnesty (see attachment), Pen and other NGOs have issued appeals about her disappearance.

If you have any suggestions as to how we can try to help her, and to lessen
the risk of her being tortured, it would be really helpful. Perhaps you have
connections with women's publications or groups that might print articles about her case, or that might write to Beijing on her behalf?

Thanks for thinking about this.

Very best wishes,
Robbie Barnett
