Chinese Embassy issues bizarre response after RTÉ journalist flees China with family
The Chinese Embassy in Ireland responded to reports of an Irish journalist fleeing China with her family for safety with a bizarre thread of tweets. RTÉ journalist Yvonne Murray spoke yesterday of how she had to flee China with her children over sinister threats to her husband. The couple moved to Taiwan after what was described as constant surveillance of Mr Sudworth by Chinese police, threats of legal action, official obstruction and increasing levels of intimidation.
