'Most harrowing news': Australian writer Yang Hengjun handed suspended death sentence in China
==========

Australian citizen Yang Hengjun has been hit with a suspended death sentence in China after five years of detention without a verdict. The sentence could be commuted to life imprisonment after two years if he does not commit any serious crimes. Foreign Minister Penny Wong described the development as 'harrowing' and stated that the Australian government is appalled at the outcome. Yang Hengjun was arrested in 2019 at an airport in Guangzhou and faced trial on espionage charges. The Australian government will be communicating its response in the strongest terms.
