john, don't r s activists, journalist and politicians leaving an anxiety too much on my shoulders. but i have to hold this way because i'm responsible for the future follow country for the people who are behind the bus. people need to know what is happening that, you know, receives guardians of truth watch. now on youtube dw documentary, they say state over here and use asia coming up a 1000 days in a badging jail family. friends of politicians play for the release of australian journalists tongue late. the mother of 2 was accused of leaking state secrets. we speak to her popular nic coil. the people aspect without doubt is, is,

is the prolonged separation for my children. you know, that's the, that's the thing. that's much difficult. also in the show, driving out the vote in thailand where on the campaign trail with full of protesters who want to change politics from the inside the, the bank visible and welcome hostage diplomacy at the height of a trade spent between china and australia. 3 years ago. astray and anchored to lake was detained in by j. a close door trial followed last year. the verdict suspended and no light shed on spying allegations. born in china raised in australia, the 48 year old was a well no business report written by jane. australian officials originally refused to raise the case with china's leadership, but the chinese foreign ministry was pressed again and the balance of detention

this week. cutting each door to you when we have given all the relevant information on the case. many times. we have also spoken about how strongly suspected crime is being dealt with by the chinese authorities, according to law. you wonder what i want to emphasize is that young ladies legal rights are guaranteed in accordance with chinese law. totally cut you off football training. you father, the ball job started once the journalists released and re united with our family, as right in foreign minister, penny wong tweeted, we share the deep concerns of her family and friends about the ongoing delays in her case. we will continue to advocate for chalet at every opportunity with the chinese government today and every day my thoughts with strongly and our children upon the coil has been trying to get his partner released. he was the head of biggest right in chamber of commerce and by jake before being advised to leave. i

asked him about the last time he sold, like a live in state or in personal spiking to is since she was the time. so we'd have to go back to the, the 12th of august 2020 is the last time that i've, i've seen her respond to a site that's uh, you know, in a 1001 days ago. so you haven't got to talk to her in private even a no, not um sign id um the system doesn't allow for that side of the system allows for uh, for the past you know, through a 1000 dies is a 30 minute conceal a visit once a month and that's kindly be undertaken by embassy officials. and then she's been able to write periodically to her children and, and parents. and then more recently to me, um and so she can write sort of roughly once a month and side of the why that her family and her children and myself can contact

is to pass on messages for the embassy officials to read out to a during that 30 minute once a month, conchella visit and answer letters, but the, the letters are quite a cumbersome process because you sort of send a letter and then it takes a month to get a reply and then it's another month before she gets your reply. so i, it's, um, it's quite a cumbersome process. i can you describe the consulate video visits to me all the time? i guess they're a welfare check. is boxes. anything side? um, you know, i d towels like becaise. so all the sorts of areas i'm unable to be discussed that i've come to a visit. so i really the, the main purpose of the visit sees, is welfare check to united. so lie what's going on around the world and those sorts of things. and also to pass on messages from, from friends and family, you brought that in some of these visits. she's leaded. to the meeting,

a blind folded hand cofton put in a timber restraint. is she being treated you looked at, that seems to be the norm. i a look at how we describe the 1st 6 months in, in, in our studio, which is what the china chinese system calls residential surveillance in a designated like scientists. and it kind of sounds like a, you know, house arrest type uh scenario. but as far from that, um that was extremely difficult. so that sort of involves effectively solid truth for 6 months. i ask permission to stand across the reason to sit down and interrogations, all of that sort of stuff i'm dying. no, i look, it's very difficult and other people who have gone through that sort of being why they reported how that system off writes. and somebody who i know is actually been through that system, you know, described to produce a simply to me and sign that are steal his hell. and i can certainly say from the

counselor, visit story that 6 month period. that certainly seems to be quite accurate. of since then she's been transferred to administrative started security detection facility where it's a, it's a certainly be better. she's got a couple of so much, but it's still a and allowed into a sort of 3 by 3 made an exercise book sort courtyard, which is obviously old, enclosed, and we boss and so on. and you know, each die for some exercise. so that's a but it's still on the restrictive environment. it's not like you can make phone calls or, or, or anything like that. so it's um, it's still a very restrictive environment. and of course, enormously difficult, mentally, emotionally, all of those sorts of things. and the most, the most difficult aspect with that doubt is, is a prolonged separation for my children. you know, that's the, that's the thing. that's much difficult. how are her kids coping?

it looks, i do their best. they would say it's a big round mazda down in melbourne and, and lo, it keeps do what kids do and try to get on with life and, and try to deal with what's in front of them. kids. it sounds very bit better than i said. also compartmentalizing in that respect. but look, i think the truth of the matter is, you know, having your mazda times in such extraordinary circumstances, having prolonged absence of not being able to speak to a bull's eye. so to see somebody that has to have an impact, doesn't it? and the dogs i'll be getting a little to the right support and, and so on. but you know, it obviously is going to impact children who would, $9.11 when she was detained. and it's very, very difficult, and there is much of the victim in all of this is john lyons really and none of us

know exactly what is going on because since her trial, which, which was over a year ago that there's been no verdict. that's right. and you know, the, the, the dates, house around why she was detained, why she was indicted as why she was charged what she was tried with. we don't know, this may not transparency around any of that, which of course is a point that out foreign minister and others of mind, prepaid lyndale prime minister, most recently united sort of not to the levels of a bi suggested step that certainly way use the site so the short answer is, are, you know, we don't know what this is about. um, none of that makes any sense to me. i mean, i know there are better as well as anybody in the context of a professional career. she was working with by c g t n. and then before that, cnbc united. so i'm positive stories about china's business engagement with the

world and, and the wells business engagement with china inside the id that she wouldn't have any access to sensitive side secrets. let a line do anything with that information to me, frankly, websites, i, i don't know why this happens. uh, and it makes no sense. it hasn't done so. you know, a 1000 dies and it probably never will. la scenic life sizes live in jail, if convicted in, in china, you know, as well as i do, the defendants are found guilty in 99 percent of the cases. what are the prospects for the it's up to the chinese system. how do i want to handle these kind of sits been moving in by single state up until now i understand how it's on a system works. but it's, um, there's no reason why this can't be brought to a swift and compassionate conclusion. is the wrong will, is day to make that happen. and that's what i sincerely high will happen because i

think it's right in the road. i have come to lie input to children who are the most important factors and all of this. but frankly, it's the best outcome. so for everybody and we can move on to so i can see on, you know, the more or less and lessons and then psych us on the more positive aspects of biological engagement and multi electronic guys went across the region. we bought now all of us trade in journalist young lady who is detained or has been detained now for over a 1000 days in badging. thank you very much for joining us here on dw immunization . that's an excellent place at any time the square in the final stretch before thailand is general election. it's the 1st pole since the pro democracy protests of 2020 a government crackdown on the used lead movement made demonstrating too dangerous for many. but some former protesters have shifted their focus from the streets to the ballot box and hoping sunday's election will bring about change. a symbol of
