Mark Swidan of Texas was framed on ‘flimsy’ meth ring charges, lawyer says
Mark Swidan, a Texan artist, photographer and aspiring businessman jailed in China since late 2012 on charges of conspiring to make and distribute methamphetamine, has been sentenced to death by a local court in Guangdong Province.
Kamm said Tuesday evening he was mystified by the court’s decision. Since 2013, the Jiangmen court has regularly applied for and been granted “extensions of the statutory requirement to announce a judgment no later than three months after the trial,” he said in a statement on the site of the San Francisco-based Dui Hua Foundation, where he is executive director. “The Supreme People’s Court in Beijing granted the extensions on more than 20 occasions. No explanation was provided to the family.
“We are asking the jail to please continue taking extra caution to ensure his safety,” the official told her, “and to make sure they are aware and take very seriously his threats to commit suicide.”
