Yang Hengjun: Australian writer subjected to ‘absurd’ interrogation in China as health deteriorates
Exclusive: Democracy advocate suffers from serious health conditions and is only allowed one shower a week
Detained Australian writer Dr Yang Hengjun has insisted he is innocent of the espionage allegations made against him and told Chinese authorities he has never been a spy for any government. But his isolated incarceration in Beijing – potentially facing the death penalty – remains indeterminate.
Yang, a former diplomat turned globally influential blogger and advocate for democracy, was arrested when he arrived in China on 18 January this year. He is being detained by the Ministry of State Security, charged with one count of espionage. There is no indication when, if at all, he will face court.
