Chinese Student Sentenced to Nine Months for Stalking and Threatening Pro-Democracy Activist in Boston

Xiaolei Wu, a former Berklee College of Music student, targeted a fellow student for her pro-democracy advocacy, resulting in a federal prison sentence and planned deportation.

Xiaolei Wu was convicted of cyberstalking and threatening communication after harassing a student who posted pro-democracy fliers at Berklee College of Music.
The harassment included threats to physically harm the victim and reporting her to Chinese authorities, instilling fear and potential danger to her family in China.
Wu's actions were described by prosecutors as leveraging the authoritarian influence of the Chinese government to silence free speech.
Following his prison term, Wu will face deportation and is barred from re-entering the United States.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about the suppression of free speech and the reach of foreign authoritarian influence on U.S. campuses.
