導讀:南科大否定了這一說法。

A university in southern China has dismissed claims that its controversial former employee He Jiankui, the scientist who claimed to have produced the world’s first gene-edited babies, has been detained.

中國南方一所大學駁斥了其具有爭議的前雇員賀建奎已被拘留的說法。這名科學家聲稱培育出了世界上首例基因編輯嬰兒。

A spokeswoman for the Shenzhen-based Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTC) said: “Right now nobody’s information is accurate, only the official channels are.”

深圳南方科技大學（南科大）的一位女發言人表示：“目前大家的信息都不準確，只有官方渠道的才是準確的。”

But she declined to elaborate on this matter, saying: “We cannot answer any questions regarding the matter right now, but if we have any information, we will update it through our official channels.”

但她拒絕了詳細說明此事，聲稱：“目前我們無法回答有關此事的任何問題，但如果我們有任何信息，我們將通過我們的官方渠道進行更新。”

Over the weekend, some media outlets reported that the scientist had been brought back to Shenzhen by the university’s president.

上周末，一些媒體報道稱，賀建奎被南科大校長帶回了深圳。

The reports claimed he was being kept under effective house arrest after he made an appearance at the Second International Summit on Human Genome Editing in Hong Kong on Wednesday.

報道稱，賀建奎于周三在香港參加完第二屆人類基因組編輯國際峰會后就被軟禁了。
