 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A senior Chinese diplomat in Sydney who abandoned his post and is seeking political asylum in Australia came out of hiding Saturday to address a pro-democracy rally.
Chen Yonglin, 37, the consul for political affairs at the consulate-general in Sydney, walked out of the mission a week ago. Shadowed by a security guard, he appeared Saturday at a Sydney rally to commemorate the June 4, 1989, crackdown on the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in Beijing.
In a wide-ranging address, Chen outlined examples of what he said were kidnappings, life imprisonments and executions of dissidents by the Chinese government.
