"Australian Writer Yang Hengjun Given Suspended Death Sentence in China for Espionage"

Australian writer Yang Hengjun has been given a suspended death sentence by a Chinese court after being detained since 2019 on charges of spying, which he denies. The sentence may be commuted to life imprisonment after two years. Australian officials have expressed outrage and vowed to advocate for his release, while his family and supporters claim he is being politically persecuted for his criticism of human rights abuses in China.
