Humphrey, who was sentenced to over two years in prison by a Shanghai court in 2014, wants China Central Television punishedComplaint is being assessed as a ‘priority’
A British fraud investigator has asked the country’s media regulator to revoke Chinese state media’s broadcast license for helping to stage his allegedly forced confession and subsequent jailing in China.
Peter Humphrey, who was sentenced to over two years in prison by a Shanghai court in 2014 but released seven months early and deported, wants the British watchdog Ofcom to punish China Central Television (CCTV) for its alleged role in the episode.
“CCTV journalists cooperated with police to extract, record, make post-production and then broadcast his confession,” the letter of complaint states.
