FILE - This undated, file photo released by Chongyi Feng shows Yang Hengjun and his wife Yuan Xiaoliang. The Chinese Australian writer tried in Beijing for alleged espionage said he pleaded to a judge to reject evidence of what he had said while being tortured by interrogators. Yang faced a closed trial on Thursday. The court deferred its verdict to a later date.
The Associated Press on Monday saw the crime novelist and blogger’s account of the legal proceedings circulated among his supporters over the weekend. “I made a plea to the judge to exclude my interrogation records from the court proceedings,” Yang said.Yang does not say how the judge responded to his request.The prosecution case, “according to legal facts, is groundless,” Yang said.
He estimated he spoke for less than five minutes in his own defense, but said the hearing “gave me a sense that things are OK.”
