A U.S. businessman from Houston is languishing in a Chinese prison and facing execution on dubious charges even as the Biden administration boycotts the Beijing Olympics for humanitarian reasons.
Mark Swidan, 46, was sentenced to death nearly three years ago after a trial under grave due process violations that prompted the United Nations Human Rights Council to call for an immediate release with reparations.
“They prefer not to rock the boat and tell the families not to go to the media,” he said. “That is completely wrong advice. Our governments say that so they don’t get dragged into more work. China is not a democracy under the rule of law. Governments should intervene noisily in these cases and look for some leverage against this crypto hostage-taking."
Kamm believes Swidan is innocent based on what he has learned about the case dating back eight years. “China has millions of detainees, and there is not a single person who has undergone a fair and transparent trial,” Humphrey said. “He was probably framed as a scapegoat by local officials.” — Katherine Swidan February 5, 2022 The State Department will not disclose how many Americans are currently detained or imprisoned in China, but Dui Hua puts the number at about 200.
