Further on press freedom in China:
After a couple of unexplained extensions of detention without charge, Straits Times reporter/Hong Kong resident Ching Cheong’s case has been handed to mainland prosecutors.
Ching’s support group says mainland officials notified his wife, through the S-A-R government, that the case was transferred to the Beijing prosecutors’ office on December 30. The Straits Times reporter was accused of spying for Taiwan and has been held on the mainland since April, but has not been formally charged.
