it what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world. for a no race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary, the they say state over here and use asia coming up a 1000 days in a badging jail family. friends of politicians, plea for the release of australian journalists tongue late. the mother of 2 was accused of leaking state secrets. please speak to her upon the nic coil. typical aspect without doubt is, is,

is the prolong 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 wants to change politics from the inside the main visible and welcome hostage diplomacy at the height of a trade spent between china and australia, 3 years ago, astray and anchored chalet was detained in bay 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 reporter in badging. australia and officials originally refused to raise the case with china's leadership. but the chinese foreign ministry was pressed again and the balance of the tension this week is quite easy to go 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. one day, what i want to emphasize is that chung lays legal rights are guaranteed in accordance with chinese law. sure. totally could y'all hope you found the ball job astray the once the journalists released and were united with our family as right in foreign minister, penny warm tweeted, we shared the deep concerns of her family and friends about the ongoing delays in her case. we will continue to advocate for chung late at every opportunity with the chinese government today and every day my thoughts with strongly and our children pop the coil has been trying to get his partner released. he was the head of biggest writing chamber of commerce and by jake before being advised to leave. i asked him about the last time he sold. i live in cedar,

in personal spiked into is since she was the time. so we'd have to go back to the um, the 12th of august 2020 is the last time that i've, i've seen a respite to a site that's uh, you know, a 1001 days ago. and so you haven't got to talk to her in private even not, not the sun id um, the system doesn't allow for that site. all the system allows for uh, for the past, you know, a 1000 dies is a 30 minute conceal a visit once a month. and that's to 90 be undertaken by embassy officials. and then she's been able to write periodically to her children and parents, and then more recently to me um and so she's right sort of roughly once a month and side of the why is it 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 conceal a visit and answer letters. but that 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 it's, um, it's quite a cumbersome process. and can you describe the consumer video visits to me all the time? i guess they're a welfare check. his boxes. anything side? um you know, i details like becaise. so all the sorts of areas i'm unable to be discussed that i've come to the visit. so i really the, the main purpose of the visit, susie is the welfare check to the i tell a lie, what's going on around the world and those sorts of things. and also to pass on messages from some 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 it describes the 1st 6 months in, in, in our, a studio which is what the china chinese system calls residential surveillance in a designated like counties. 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, you know, interrogations, all of that sort of stuff i'm dying not look, it's very difficult and other people who have gone through that sort of being why they recorded how that system offer rights and somebody who i know is actually been through that system, you know, described to produce essentially to me and sign that our ceo as hell. and i can

certainly say from the cost of the visit story that 6 month period that certainly seems to be quite accurate. look since then she's been transferred to a business through started security detection facility where it's a, it's a certainly a bit better. she's got a couple of cell nights, but it's still a and allowed into a sort of 3 by 3 made an exercise box or a courtyard, which is obviously all enclosed and we'd boss and so on. and you know, each die for some exercise side. that's a but it's still a hearty, restrictive environment. it's not like you can make phone calls or, or, or anything like that. so it's, it's still a very restrictive environment. and of course, enormously difficult, mentally, emotionally, all of those sorts of things. and look most the most difficult aspect with that doubt is, 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. um, they would say it's a big round mazda down in the open. um 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 and kids to some degree of it better than i said, also compartmentalizing in that respect. but look, i think the truth of the matter is, you know, having your mazda a times in such extraordinary circumstances, having prolonged absence of not being able to speak to a bull's eye sorts of the somebody that has to have an impact designated and low thoughts. i will be getting a little to the right support and, and so on. but you know, if obviously it's going to impact children who are 9 and 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 it's a 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 in daughters why she was charged. what she was tried with, we don't night is band night transparency around any of that, which of course is a point that out foreign minister and others have made or pay the land of prime minister most recently. united sort of not the the levels of the by seek justice 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. and she was working with by c, g t, n. and, and before that seem be say, united sewing, positive stories about china's business engagement with the world and,

and the walls, 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 uh, it makes no sense. it hasn't done so. you know, a 1000 dies and it probably never will. lastly, make life sizes life 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 the chinese 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 on the road. i've

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 lecturing engagement across the region. we partner all of us trade in journalist young lady who is detained or has been detained now for over a 1000 days. emerging. thank you very much for joining us here on the www sasha. that's an excellent place at any time. the we're in the final stretch before thailand is general election. it's the 1st pole since the pro democracy protests of 2020 a government crackdown. they use lead movement made demonstrating too dangerous for many, but some form of protest as have shifted their focus from the streets to the ballot box. and hoping sunday's election will bring about change. a symbol of resistance
