In August 2020, Chinese-Australian journalist Cheng Lei had her life turned upside down. While working as a business television anchor in Beijing, she was arrested by officers of China’s Ministry of State Security on charges of espionage.

 

Detained, isolated and interrogated, she was cut off from her family and friends for more than three years, until her release in late 2023. Cheng Lei is now telling her story in a new book, A Memoir of Freedom.

 

Join us for the Sydney launch of her book. Ms Cheng will be interviewed on stage by the Lowy Institute’s Richard McGregor, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase a copy of the book and have it personally signed by the author.

 

Refreshments will be served.
