BEIJING - A Chinese court sentenced Chinese-born Swedish citizen Gui Minhai to 10 years in jail for illegally providing intelligence overseas on Monday , the Ningbo Intermediate People's Court said in a statement on its website.
Gui, a bookseller previously based in Hong Kong who sold books critical of China's political leadership, was detained by mainland police in 2018. He was seized by plainclothes police while in the company of Swedish diplomats.
chloewo25572748 A Swedish citizen traveled in Thailand was kidnapped by CCP into custidy with no legal representation, even with consulate involvement. Now he's been prosecuted with 10 years in jailed. FreeChina StandWithHongKong
Kidnapped. And the world pretends it's not a problem. Chinazi
A totalitarian act😡😡 ridiculous
very sad about this. 10 years, WTF...
Mr. Gui was kidnapped in Thailand and then sent to China, but Thailand just keeps silent. We should re-think evil CCP's influence in Asia, especially its aggression to control the world. Very horrible. We must stay alert and stop it. Chinazi
That’s how China ruin human rights
communist
He was kidnapped back to china, and 'voluntarily' admit his crime which is created by CCP
Again and again and again.
Chinese law doesn’t represent justice, it represents the weapon of maintaining stability of CCPChina
At first Gui was kidnapped from Thailand to China, accused for a car accident in China, now he was sentencing to jail for providing intelligent. The ridiculous things happening in China are always out of ppl's imagination. That's HongKongers have to fight for freedom.
shiroihamusan She sold books in HongKong, which were forbidden in CHINA, then she was kidnapped to China. Now she’s sentenced. That’s why HongKongers started our protest last yr, SAY NO to extradition to CHINA! HK should be an independent n autonomous region! UNIVERSALSUFFRAGE is needed!
Gui was a bookseller selling books about Chinese political leaders, but CCP just can't withstand any criticism, and kidnapped Gui to China
The unwarranted aspersions of these booksellers are totally RIDICULOUS. Please note that this is happened before the extradition bill. CCPChina could ignoring laws and do whatever they want. It’s easy to predict what will happen if the extradition bill has passed. AntiELAB
Every case just got worse every single time. Gui MinHai was captured in HK by China cops, and got sent to CCP chinazi in the secret way. He must’ve been through excessive tortures and threats to admit this crime. China_is_terrorist
Well, selling books is a crime is China, but stealing from overseas isn't & will be rewarded by CCP. Whatever they don't like you do, they can just put you in prison.
I aint sure if i still (or ever) have any faith in China’s legal system. Jailing a bookseller for ridiculous reason, but allowing SpokespersonCHN to break laws everyday by climing over the wall to Twitter spreading “intellegence”. Rule by law is never the same as rule of law.
His crime was a mafia that promoted the CCPChina. The CCP says that if you are guilty, you are guilty. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 5 years to political deprivation. No country can deprive people of their political rights. If so, it is dictatorship. CCP_is_Nazi
Good riddance. Threat to national security
Don’t think that it’s ok cuz ccp can kidnap anyone and send them to jail or worse. CCP_is_terrorist
Communist China has never changed.
Gui is a citizen of Sweden and totalitarian China interferes other countries' internal affairs again
If Extradition Bill in Hong Kong got passed, the number of similar cases would certainly skyrocket.
Even without extradition bill backed in 2015, those 5 booksellers who sold political books banned in Communist China were kidnapped from HongKong to China even they were just selling those books in Hong Kong. China is destroying Hong Kong's freedom of speech and rule of law.
That’s why HK people fight against extradition bill.
This kind of behavior caused coronavirus outbreak
That’s not “send to jail” That’s kidnapping.
JanetZephyr The famous case of HK book store owner who was kidnapped by CCP to mainland to “be confessed”, simply because he sold books that emperor pooh didn't like. The extradition bill that BloodyCarrie so desperately tried & failed to power thru was to legitimize that in the future.
