BEIJING (AP) - The trial of a Hong Kong journalist accused of spying for Taiwan ended here after one day, his employer said, and a Chinese researcher linked to the case was tried Wednesday in a brief closed-door session, a Hong Kong activist said.
Ching Cheong, a correspondent for Singapore's Straits Times newspaper, was detained in April 2005, and state media later claimed he confessed to selling military secrets to Taiwan and setting up a spy network. His supporters say he is innocent.
Ching's trial in the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate Court started and ended Tuesday, said Carole Chow, a spokeswoman for Singapore Press Holdings, the Straits' Times parent company.
