letter motion and moved Guo's
sentencing to December 9:

On October 4,
Yvette Wang's lawyers wrote in
with a redacted memo seeking a
sentence of four years. Memo here.
Attached was the personal
statement of Yvette Wang
including that "By the end of
2015, one of my expatriated
colleagues went back to
Beijing and was immediately
arrested when he landed.
Between 2015 and 2016, I
traveled between Hong Kong,
New York, and London,
patiently waiting to return
home under extreme fear that
if I returned home, I would be
arrested by the CCP. By July
2017, two months after I left
Hong Kong for New York, one of
our Hong Kong colleagues was
kidnapped and covertly
transported back to China.
Since then, I have not left
the United States." Letter on
Patreon here.
How will this be
addressed at sentencing?
The case is US v.
Guo, et al., 23-cr-118
