Professor Chen Xingliang of Beijing University

Professor Chen Xingliang is the Chair of the Academic Committee of the Law School of Beijing University. Vice Chair of Chinese Criminal Law Association, Vice Chair of Chinese Judicial Procedure Association.

As a full time tenured professor in a public university, and not a practicing lawyer, Chen took bribe from criminal organization and offer obviously biased opinion in the form of amicus curiae in the Changshu migrant farmer self-defense case. The act was uncovered when an article authored by Chen was published by the Post of People's Court.

Professor Chen's act is particularly egregious in this case because he knowingly put a few innocent defenseless migrant workers behind bars. Professor Chen must have strong hearts, to frame people with names, faces, families and kids, who walk and talk in such a splendid way. Pocketing from bad policy aside, not even every corrupt officials are willing to put harms on real people.
