Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Australian ambassador denied entry to journalist Cheng Lei’s Beijing trial” – below is their description.
The national security trial of Australian journalist Cheng Lei is scheduled to begin in Beijing under tight security and behind closed doors – with foreign journalists and diplomats denied entry. A court official told the Australian ambassador in Beijing, Graham Fletcher, that he could not be admitted because the case involved ‘state secrets’ so the trial could not be public. Cheng, a former anchor for Chinese state TV broadcaster CGTN, has been detained for 19 months after a shock arrest in 2020
