STOCKHOLM - China threatened Sweden with unspecified “counter measures” if its culture minister attends a literary award ceremony on Friday for Gui Minhai, a Swedish citizen who was abducted in Thailand in 2015 and is now in detention in China.
Svenska PEN, a literary organization, has awarded Gui Minhai the 2019 Tucholsky Prize, praising his work in the service of free speech. An empty chair will symbolically represent the writer at the ceremony in Stockholm on Friday, Svenska Pen said. The presence of Culture Minister Amanda Lind, who was due to hand out the award, would bring “serious negative impacts”, the ambassador said. “We will surely take counter-measures”.
