Dong Yifu, son of imprisoned journalist Dong Yuyu, calls for his father's release from a seven-year sentence on espionage charges, arguing it is a press freedom and human rights issue. Dong Yuyu was arrested in 2022 while meeting a Japanese diplomat, and his conviction has raised concerns over press freedom in China. Despite his imprisonment, he remains healthy and has prepared an appeal against his conviction, which has been condemned by press freedom advocates and the US State Department.
