'Dr Yang Hengjun, the Australian pro-democracy writer who has been held in
detention in China since 2019, has been sentenced to death in Beijing, but has
been given a two-year reprieve that could see him given life imprisonment
instead.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the federal government understands the
sentence will be commuted to life in jail if Yang "does not commit any serious
crimes in the two-year period".
Wong said the government is appalled by the decision, which was handed down
today in Beijing.'
