Daughter Of Missing Hong Kong Bookseller Appeals For U.s. Help

The daughter of Hong Kong bookseller Gui Minhai, detained in China since November, has asked the U.S. to exert additional pressure on the Chinese government to secure his release. During a congressional hearing in Washington D.C. Tuesday, Angela Gui said her father — a naturalized Swedish citizen — had not been allowed legal representation during his eight-month detention, Reuters reports. “The U.S., Sweden, and other countries … need to work to make sure that Chinese authorities are not allowed to carry out illegal operations on foreign soil,” she said. Gui, co-owner of Hong Kong-based publishing company Mighty Current Media, disappeared while in Thailand in October, later appearing in police custody in Mainland China.
