Australian Ambassador Denied Entry to Beijing Trial of Writer Yang Hengjun Australian Ambassador to China Graham Fletcher has been denied entry to the closed court trial on espionage charges of Australian writer Yang Hengjun which began in Beijing today. “Unfortunately, we’ve just been denied entry into the court,” Fletcher told reporters outside the Beijing Second Intermediate Court on Thursday. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus (novel coronavirus) pandemic was given as the reason Fletcher was denied access, and also because it was a national security case. “This is deeply regrettable, concerning, and unsatisfactory,” he said.
