Peter Jesper Dalhin admitted that he is working for an illegal organization that sponsored undertakings to endanger Chinas national security. The Swedish national's admission appeared in a state television in China.
According to Time, during the interview, the Swedish national said that he had toiled with Su Changlan, a women's rights activist, Xing Qingxian, Chengdu-based activist and Wang Quanzhang, who is a lawyer, all these personalities are currently detained in China. In a report from the Chinese officials, Dalhin was found to be connected to the Fengrui Law firm.
He and Wang Quanzhang started a company in Hong Kong last 2009. The organization was accused of helping the son of a fellow Fengrui lawyer cross the border and leave China illegally. Earlier this year, Wang was charged with subversion of state power as reported by Bloomberg.
He has been working for an organization called Chinese Urgent Action Working Group that takes rapid response and assist the rights of Chinese people who are in need. According to the group where he's from, it is clear that he was forced to do the admission says reports from CNN.
The organization strongly believes that accusations of criminal activity on Dalhin remains baseless. But the Chinese government is firm in believing that the Action Group receives a large amount of money overseas to train others on how to fabricate and distort information about China and report it to other overseas organization.
These reports were solidified by Dalhins confessions that his organization received $1.5 million from all over the world for the past years with half of that amount going to his pocket. He said that they were using false salary receipts to gain extra money for themselves.
Dalhin admitted that he has caused harm to the Chinese government and has hurt the heart of the Chinese people. He said that he is very sorry for what happened and apologizes sincerely for his actions.
