Media outlets have revealed the life of Cheng Lei behind bars.
The Chinese-Australian journalist has been detained in Beijing for two years since 2020.
The Daily Telegraph released its documentary, “Disappeared – The Cheng Lei Story,” on Aug. 24, which revealed the news anchor’s experience in custody.
Cheng, 47, previously worked as an English-language anchor for China Global Television Network (CGTN), the international arm of the Chinese regime’s state broadcaster CCTV.
She was detained in Beijing on Aug. 13, 2020 on suspicion of “illegally spreading state secrets overseas” and was formally arrested in February 2021.
It has been revealed that Cheng spent her first six months in a secret Chinese prison, where she was often handcuffed, blindfolded, and escorted to a monthly 30-minute video conference room with Australian consular officials….
