Reuters, STOCKHOLMA dissident publisher who has been detained in China off and on since 2015 is to release a collection of his poems that were smuggled out of jail, a Swedish publishing house said on Wednesday. Chinese-born Gui Minhai (桂民海), a Swedish citizen based in Hong Kong who has published books critical of China’s leaders, was abducted in Thailand in 2015 and later appeared in custody in China. “We were contacted by his daughter Angela and she wondered if we wanted to publish the poems, which we very much wanted,” said Martin Kaunitz of publisher Kaunitz & Olsson. “It is clear that the attention of the outside world is a protection for these people,” he said. Gui became a Swedish citizen after studying there in the 1980s.
