Dr Yang Jun
Today marks two years since Australian citizen, Dr Yang Jun, received a suspended death sentence in Beijing.
Dr Yang has demonstrated remarkable resilience and fortitude in the face of great challenges for the past seven years of his detention.
The Australian Government has made clear to China that we remain appalled by Dr Yang's suspended death sentence.
Dr Yang is entitled to basic standards of justice, procedural fairness and humane treatment, in accordance with international norms and China's legal obligations. We advocate consistently for Dr Yang's welfare and conditions.
Today our thoughts are with Dr Yang and his loved ones. We want to see him reunited with his family.
The Government will continue to advocate for Dr Yang at every opportunity.
