“China jails Hong Kong bookseller Gui Minhai for 10 years” - SCMP
“China Sentences Hong Kong Bookseller Gui Minhai to 10 Years in Prison” - NY Times

➢ All sources gave some Ann Linde’s (a Swedish politician, serving as Minister for Foreign Affairs) words to show the official position of Sweden on this topic.

"We have not had access to the trial," said Ann Linde in a tweet. "[We] demand that Gui be released and that we have access to our citizens to provide consular support." - BBC
“We have always been clear that we demand that Gui Minhai be released so that he is able to reunite with his daughter, his family, and that demand remains,” Foreign Minister Ann Linde said in an interview on Swedish Radio. -SCMP
“We have consistently made it clear that we demand that Gui Minhai be released so that he can be reunited with his daughter and family,” the ministry said in a statement. “This demand still stands. We also demand access to our citizen so that we can provide the consular support he is entitled to.” - NY Times

➢ All sources said that Gui Minhai is a Swedish citizen, although the Ningbo Intermediate People's Court (China) said that his Chinese citizenship had been reinstated in 2018. As China does not recognise dual citizenship, China emphasizes he is not a Swedish citizen anymore.

➢ NY Times & BBC used provocative photos to show that detention in China was denounced by Gui Minhai’s supporters as the example of the Chinese government’s resolve to smother criticism from abroad.
