Brussels--The European Union on Friday demanded that China "review" the trial of 71-year-old Chinese journalist Gao Yu who has been sentenced to seven years prison after being convicted of leaking state secrets.
The sentence was given "despite the serious doubts that have been raised about the legal procedure," an EU diplomatic service spokesperson said. "We call for the immediate review of Ms Gao Yu's case, in line with international standards."
