Yang Jun says he was mistreated while being held at a secret detention site after being arrested.
The 56-year-old academic’s trial began behind closed doors on Thursday, with the Australian ambassador in Beijing denied access. Beijing has said the trial can lawfully be held in secret because it involves “state secrets” and has criticised Australia for “interference” at a time of deteriorating relations between the two nations.
He is believed to have left mainland China for Hong Kong in 1992 and then travelled to the UnS five years later, where he worked for the Atlantic Council think tank.
