WASHINGTON—A protest across from the Royal Thai Embassy on Feb. 7 called for the release of Mr. Chiang Yung-shin, a Taiwanese national who helped the Sound of Hope radio network lease a house in northern Thailand.
Sound of Hope is a Chinese-language radio network based in San Francisco that beams uncensored news via short-wave radio into mainland China. Frank Lee, the radio network’s spokesperson, said the arrest of Chiang was part of the Chinese communist regime’s efforts to censor and control the information Chinese people have access to.
