SYDNEY: The prime minister of Australia on Wednesday announced that China has released an Australian journalist who was detained by Beijing three years ago.
Cheng Lei, a former anchor for Chinese state broadcaster CGTN, had been detained since August 2020 but was only formally arrested in February 2021.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the journalist had reached Melbourne to meet her young children.
She was detained on the charge of distorting about prison conditions in the prisons of Chin.
The journalist was released by a team of judges in August after continuing hearing conducted in a closed door prison.
