TV Anchor Imprisoned in China Describes Three-Year Tree Drought in Rare Message

Australian TV anchor Cheng Lei, who has been detained in China for three years, expressed her longing for her family and life in Australia in a rare message. Cheng, accused of illegally supplying state secrets overseas, revealed that she misses the sun, nature, and her children. Chinese authorities have not disclosed the details of the allegations against her, and the court has repeatedly delayed handing down a verdict. Cheng's partner, Nick Coyle, stated that he can only communicate with her after monthly consular visits.
