WASHINGTON (AP) — Three American citizens imprisoned for years by China have been released, the White House said Wednesday. The three are Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung. "Soon they will return and be reunited with their families for the first time in many years," the White House said in a statement.
The White House announced on November 27, 2024, that three American citizens, who had been detained in China for several years, have been released. The individuals, whose identities were not disclosed, were held on charges that the U.S. government described as politically motivated. Their release comes after extensive diplomatic negotiations between the U.S. and China, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding human rights and consular access. The White House expressed relief at the return of the Americans and gratitude towards the efforts of U.S. diplomats and officials involved in securing their freedom. This development is seen as a positive step in U.S.-China relations, although it underscores the broader issues of arbitrary detentions and the need for continued dialogue on human rights.
