Ahead of the trial in Beijing of Australian-Chinese writer Yang Hengjun on charges of espionage, the head of Amnesty Internationalâs China Team, Joshua Rosenzweig, said:
âYang Hengjun has been detained on totally baseless allegations that he is a spy, and the Chinese authorities must ensure that his trial meets international fair trial standards.
âThe charges against Yang appear to be a politically motivated prosecution for articles he wrote that were critical of the Chinese government. This is an outrageous attack on his right to freedom of expression.
âHaving reportedly endured hundreds of interrogations and been held in inhumane conditions with severely restricted access to his lawyer, Yang now faces an unfair trial behind closed doors. He remains at grave risk of torture and other ill-treatment.
