EU Calls on China to Allow Bloomberg News Staffer Legal Access

The European Union has urged China to release all journalists and citizens held in connection with their reporting, following the detention of a Bloomberg News employee. Haze Fan, a Chinese citizen, was taken from her home by plain-clothes security officials on December 7 on suspicion of endangering national security.

"All those arrested and detained in connection with their reporting activity should be immediately released,” an EU spokesperson said in a statement on December 12. “We expect the Chinese authorities to grant her (Fan) medical assistance if needed, prompt access to a lawyer of her choice, and contacts with her family,” it added.
