Idag är Sveriges utrikesminister i Kina för samtal. Hon bör kräva att Gui Minhai, som hållits i 10 år, frisläpps omedelbart. Mänskliga rättigheter sägs vara en hörnsten i svensk utrikespolitik, då måste de vara det även i dagens samtal.

Wait and see is not an option. Killer robots must be banned before it’s too late.
