We do not know of any cases where a scientist has been persecuted or arrested because of his scientific work, but I do know that in recent years any number of scientists have been persecuted or arrested because of their political beliefs, and we consider that this opportunity should be taken to make it clear that such people should be released.
Nous ne connaissons pas de cas où un scientifique a été poursuivi ou emprisonné à cause de ses travaux, mais je voudrais rappeler que ces dernières années, de nombreux scientifiques ont été persécutés en raison de leurs opinions politiques.
