Music student from China convicted of harassing person over democracy leaflet

BOSTON (AP) — A citizen of China who is a student at the Berklee College of Music has been convicted of threatening a person who posted a flyer in support of democracy in China. Federal investigators said Thursday that 26-year-old Xiaolei Wu was convicted of one count of stalking. Investigators say an individual posted a flyer on Oct. 22 near the Berklee College of Music campus in Boston that said, “Stand with Chinese People,” and other statements including, “We Want Freedom” and “We Want Democracy.” Investigators say that in response, Wu threatened to chop off the person’s hands and reported their family to China’s public security agency.
