Imprisoned Journalist's Sunlight Deprivation in China

Cheng Lei, a Chinese-Australian journalist who was convicted on espionage charges in China, has described her detention conditions in a letter to the Australian public. Cheng, who has yet to be sentenced, revealed that she is only allowed to stand in sunlight for 10 hours a year. She expressed her love for Australia and her longing for nature, as she hasn't seen a tree since her detention. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong pledged continued support for Cheng and her family, advocating for her well-being and the reunification with her children. The details of Cheng's detention and trial remain sealed, and she could face years of prison.
