Gui Minhai’s daughter testifies
After a long media silence, the daughter of the kidnapped Hong Kong bookseller Gui Minhai, Angela Gui, testified May 24, 2016 in the US congress about her kidnapped father, reminding everyone he is still illegally held without charges, having been illegally taken from Thailand to China last October and illegally paraded twice on Chinese state controlled TV, forced to incriminate himself. She laid out the facts of the case calmly and clearly, very impressive: Talk about speaking truth to power -- in a very British English. (She too is a compatriot, a citizen of Sweden, yet is a student at Warwick U in the UK).
Excerpts from her testimony can be seen on video at numerous sites, such as here:

In the testimony she urged all countries not to accept China kidnapping people outside of China, as duly noted in Hong Kong:
