The Polish Supreme Court barred sending a Falun Gong practitioner to China for trial in a case that underscores debate over Europe’s attention to human rights issues in the world’s most populous country.
Li Zhihui, a Chinese-born Swedish national, has been held in Poland pending extradition to China since he was detained at Warsaw Chopin Airport on an Interpol notice almost two years ago.
