Amnesty International has labelled the Chinese Government’s brazen and outrageous contempt for fair trial and other human rights ‘ludicrous’ after their admission that Hong Kong-Swedish dual national, Gui Minhai is again detained and faces criminal charges.

Gui Minhai is a Hong Kong bookseller who went missing from Thailand in 2015. He later appeared in Chinese custody without apparent charge and was not released until two years later in October 2017.

On the 20th January this year, Mr. Gui was accompanied by two Swedish diplomats on his way to a specialist medical appointment when he was arrested by 10 plain clothes police officers.
