今天，中华人民共和国江门市中级法院驳回了被不当拘押的美国国民马克·斯威丹的上诉，并维持了对他的死刑判决，缓期两年执行。我们对这一决定感到失望，并将继续敦促立即将其释放并让其返回美国。美国官员已反复向中华人民共和国高级官员表达了他们对斯威丹先生的待遇、医疗护理及其无法及时收发邮件的关切。拜登总统和布林肯国务卿继续亲自关注马克·斯威丹和其他在世界各地被不当拘押或被扣为人质的美国国民的获释问题。

STATEMENT BY U.S. State Department PRINCIPAL DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON: Mark Swidan’s Suspended Death Sentence

Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson

Today the People’s Republic of China’s Jiangmen Intermediate Court denied wrongfully detained U.S. national Mark Swidan’s appeal, and upheld his death penalty with a two-year suspended death sentence.   We are disappointed by this decision and will continue to press for his immediate release and return to the United States.  U.S. officials have repeatedly expressed their concerns to senior PRC officials about Mr. Swidan’s treatment, medical care, and his inability to send or receive mail in a timely manner. President Biden and Secretary Blinken continue to remain personally focused on the release of Mark Swidan and other U.S. nationals wrongfully detained or held hostage across the world.
