Amnesty International Petition

Well-known writer, Yang Hengjun, has been detained by the Chinese authorities for the past 18 months.

The government has accused him of espionage for being a strong and outspoken advocate for democracy and human rights.

He’s had no access to a lawyer of his choice, nor his family. I am gravely concerned for his wellbeing and fear that he is at risk of torture and other ill-treatment.
