Disappeared bookseller emerges in mysterious circumstances

A Swedish-Chinese bookseller who disappeared mysteriously in 2014 is justified.

Gui Minhai, a naturalized citizen, disappeared in 2014 from an apartment in Thailand. He belongs to a group of five missing persons who all worked in the same politically specialized bookstore in Hong Kong. The case sold sensational books with rumors and gossip about the Chinese political elite and the Communist Party.

The 'disappearance' of the five colleagues in Hong Kong, since 1997 under Chinese responsibility, is no coincidence. Critics say that the work of the Chinese secret service. Commissioned by vengeful politicians.

In a statement on Chinese television Gui said that it was his own decision to return to China. 'I submit voluntarily to the authorities. And wear the consequences of a fatal accident caused by me, 'said the confession. According to the family of Gui he was confused about. 'It really is total nonsense. I have never heard of, 'said daughter Angela. 'Also a message via Skype that I was not to worry, it was his own choice and that I should keep my mouth was strange. Something he would never say. '

Gui awaits a sentence of four years. Moreover, the Chinese people suspect him of other, undisclosed crimes. In China, it is more or less a tradition that prominent suspect on television to make a 'confession'.

Another bookseller British bookseller Lee Bo left earlier this month in a letter that he had gone to China to 'assist the authorities in an investigation.' Even that statement is doubted by critics.
