Unjust Sentencing of PRC Journalist Dong Yuyu
The United States condemns the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s November 29 unjust sentencing of journalist Dong Yuyu to seven years in prison for alleged “espionage.” His arrest and today’s sentencing highlight the PRC’s failure to live up to its commitments under international law and its own constitutional guarantees to all its citizens, which include the right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
We celebrate Dong’s work as a veteran journalist and editor, as well as his contributions to U.S.-PRC people-to-people ties, including as a Harvard University Nieman Fellow. We stand by Dong and his family and call for his immediate and unconditional release.
