Yang Hengjun, an imprisoned Chinese-Australian academic, has sent a heartfelt letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese from his prison cell, thanking him for expressing concern for his health. Yang has been locked up since 2019 on espionage charges he denies, receiving a suspended death sentence earlier this year. In his letter, he reflects on the emotional burden of his situation, the value of support from the Australian government, and the profound sense of humanity he feels from those advocating for his well-being and freedom.
Words are now failing me. Tears blur my vision... I can only use a silent voice to thank you and all the people who care for and love me.
All of this solicitude and solace has helped me to bear what has been untold and unbearable suffering...How could words articulate my emotions?
