A Swedish citizen who is suspected of funding criminal activities that endanger China's national security was deported from China on Jan. 25 after he confessed, said a China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson at a press conference Tuesday.
In accordance with the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, Beijing State Security Bureau placed Swedish citizen Peter Dahlin under compulsory measures of residential surveillance at designated residence, said Hua Chunying, a spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry.
Prior to that, following the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, China informed the Swedish side about the relevant situation and arranged for the Swedish side to visit him, Hua added.
Hua mentioned that information from relevant departments shows that Peter Dahlin is suspected of supporting criminal activities that endanger China's state security in the name of defending human rights.
Dahlin's group carried out activities in China in the name of providing aid for those in need of help while defending rights, without registering and reporting to the Chinese government. In this way, they tried to avoid governmental supervision of their activities and their use of funds, according to a report on China Daily.
Xinhua News Agency said Dahlin's group has been receiving financial support from seven overseas organizations.
