EU-parlamentet kräver att den svenske förläggaren Gui Minhai, som fördes bort förra året, genast släpps fri. Parlamentet fördömer även Kinas behandling av oppositionella.

Gui Minhai har drivit ett bokförlag i Hongkong som publicerat böcker som regeringen i Peking ogillat.

Wikipedia (en)
Gui Minhai (Chinese:桂敏海 or 桂民梅), also known as Michael Gui, (born 5 May 1964 in Ningbo, Zhejiang) is a Chinese–born Swedish scholar, and book publisher. He is a prolific author on books about Chinese politics and has written under the pen name AHai (阿海). Gui is one of three shareholders of Causeway Bay Books, and one of five men who went missing in late 2015 in an incident known as the Causeway Bay Books disappearances – a case which has ignited fears worldwide over the collapse of "one country, two systems", as it appears that people could be subject to renditioning from Hong Kong and from other countries by Chinese law enforcers. The authorities of the People's Republic of China remained silent about holding him in custody. This silence came to an end when a controversial video confession was broadcast on mainland media exactly three months after he was last heard from.
