STOCKHOLM: Sweden's foreign minister said today during a trip to China that she had urged Beijing to release Chinese-Swedish bookseller Gui Minhai, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2020 on espionage charges.
Gui, one of five Hong Kong-based booksellers known for publishing salacious titles about China's political leaders, has been at the centre of diplomatic tensions between Stockholm and Beijing for a decade.
