Yang Hengjun, a Chinese-Australian writer and democracy activist, who has been detained in China for over four years on charges of espionage, fears he may die in jail after a large cyst was found on his kidney. Yang's trial was held in secret in 2021, and a verdict has been repeatedly delayed. Concerns about his health have been raised, with calls for the Australian government to pressure China for his release on medical parole. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese plans to raise the issue with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 summit. Yang's case highlights concerns about human rights and the rule of law in China.
