Quote:

"In a statement, the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China said Angela Gui would be speaking as a witness in a hearing with the theme 'The Long Arm of China: Global Efforts to Silence Critics from Tiananmen to Today.' She will be joined by other witnesses including exiled human rights lawyer Teng Biao.

" 'The Swedish government has told Angela that they received a message one or two months ago that Gui is considering giving up his Swedish citizenship,' dissident poet Bei Ling said, recalling what Angela had told him. * * * Bei, who is close to Angela

My comment:
(a) It is 2 pm EDT, May 24. Google times the BBC Chinese report "3 hours ago," and the SCMP report "8 hours ago."
(b) There is no need to read the rest of either report, which does not say anything new.
