Today marks four years since Australian citizen, Dr Yang Jun, was detained in China.
Our thoughts are with Dr Yang and his family.
Dr Yang faced a closed trial in Beijing on 27 May 2021 and he still awaits a verdict.
The Australian Government is deeply troubled by the ongoing delays in his case.
Since Dr Yang was detained, the Australian Government has called for basic standards of justice, procedural fairness and humane treatment to be afforded to Dr Yang, in accordance with international norms and China's legal obligations.
The Australian Government will continue to advocate for Dr Yang's interests and wellbeing at the highest levels and provide consular assistance to Dr Yang and his family.
