  • Human rights advocates have alleged that Chinese authorities are mistreating Chinese Australian writer Yang Hengjun and journalist Zhang Zhan as part of a larger effort to suppress dissent, Voice of America (VOA) reported.

The article from MSN discusses the criticism faced by China from human rights advocates regarding the treatment of detained writer and journalist, Yang Maodong, also known as Guo Feixiong. Yang, who has been detained since December 2023, is accused of "inciting subversion of state power." Human Rights Watch and other groups have condemned China for allegedly torturing Yang, including subjecting him to sleep deprivation and other forms of mistreatment. The international community has called for his immediate release, highlighting the broader issue of China's crackdown on free speech and civil liberties. The case has drawn attention to the ongoing human rights abuses in China, where critics of the government often face severe repercussions.
