Swedish activist Peter Dahlin paraded on China state TV for 'scripted confession'
100+ China | The Guardian by Tom Phillips in Beijing
The human rights activist had been arrested in January but friends dismiss the TV stunt as ‘ridiculous and absurd’
Supporters of Peter Dahlin, the Swedish human rights activist being held by Chinese police, have dismissed allegations he was a foreign agent attempting to undermine the Communist party as ridiculous and absurd.
Dahlin, a Beijing-based campaigner who was detained in early January, was paraded on Chinese television on Tuesday night to make what friends and colleagues describe as a “forced confession”.
