The sons of Australian writer Yang Hengjun, who has been imprisoned in Beijing for espionage charges, have written a letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, requesting his assistance during his upcoming visit to China.
SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 31, 2023 | SaltWireSYDNEY - The sons of Australia n writer Yang Hengjun, jailed in Beijing for four years on espionage charges, have written to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese asking for a"second miracle" ahead of his China visit, after the release of journalist Cheng Lei.
A Beijing court heard Yang's trial in secret in May 2021 and the case against him has never been publicly disclosed. He has denied working as a spy for Australia or the United States. They urged Albanese to seek Yang's release on medical grounds, after being told by consular officials who visited him last week that his health was declining and that he had collapsed several times. Friends had said Yang was suffering health problems since August.
China's foreign ministry has previously said Yang was"suspected of engaging in criminal activities that endanger the national security of the PRC" and said Chinese judicial bodies were reviewing his case.
