Yang Hengjun's suspended death sentence 'at extreme end of worst expectations' - family

Australian writer Yang Hengjun's family said on Monday they were "shocked and devastated" by a suspended death sentence delivered by a Beijing court and called it "at extreme end of worst expectations".

Yang, a pro-democracy blogger, is an Australian citizen born in China who was working in New York before his arrest at Guangzhou airport in 2019. He had been accused of spying for a country China had not publicly identified and the details of the case against him were unknown.
