Australian journalist Cheng Lei faces 1000 days in detention in Beijing this week with a verdict on her case delayed again.
, who will mark her 1000th day in detention in Beijing this week, say they are deeply concerned about delays to her case and appealed to the Chinese government for her release.
She was tried behind closed doors in March, but the court has not yet handed down a verdict, with her sentencing repeatedly deferred. A verdict due in April was deferred again for another three months. Mr Coyle said Ms Cheng was in good health, but she was finding it increasingly difficult being separated from her children. She is allowed one consular visit a month which is her only contact with the outside world. She is allowed to write letters to Mr Coyle and her family which are passed on through the representative from the Australian embassy in Beijing.Advertisement
