 China detains US seismologist for nearly two years without trial as family seeks release before Xi visit A China-born American seismologist has been detained in China for nearly two years without trial, with his family now publicly calling for his release as diplomatic efforts continue over his case. Youlin Chen, a Boston resident and U.S. citizen, was detained by Chinese state security officials in November 2024 while visiting his parents in Beijing and has since been charged with espionage, according to an organization assisting his family. Chen’s wife, Yufang Rong, said she has not spoken with him in more than 600 days and expressed concerns about his health and well-being. She said President Donald Trump has taken an interest in the case and she hopes his administration can help bring Chen home. Chen has been classified by the U.S. government as wrongfully detained, a designation reserved for cases considered a priority for diplomatic intervention. He is currently the only Ame...

BRITISH FATHER OF THREE DROWNED AFTER FALLING FROM JETSKI ON HIS DAY OFF IN GHANA. (PHOTOS).



A father-of-three from Wales died when he drowned while jet-skiing in Africa, an inquest has heard.
Iwan Gwyn, 49, was jet-skiing off on a river near the capital Accra in Ghana on a day off from his work at a construction company when he became 'detached' from the vehicle. He was unable to be recovered.
An inquest opening heard his body has now been repatriated to the UK for a coroner to carry out an investigation.
Originally from Llanaelhaearn, Gwynedd, Mr Gwyn was a qualified quantity surveyor who worked in London and Dublin before moving to Ghana in 2012.
Iwan Gwyn, pictured with his wife Annie, died when he drowned while jet-skiing in Ghana.
He became a project director with Italian international construction firm Barbisotti.
He was on annual leave when he died on December 30.

Acting north west Wales coroner Katie Sutherland said: 'Iwan Gwyn had been out on a jet ski on the river at Alorkpem in Ghana.
'By 6pm it was dark and he somehow became detached from the jet ski and was unable to be recovered.
'He was pronounced dead at the scene and identified by Dr Stephen Anan.

'A post-mortem was carried out in Ghana which gave a provisional cause of death as asphyxiation or drowning and blunt head injury.

'His body has now been repatriated to this country and I will investigate his death by way of inquest.'
A full inquest is due to take place at a later date.
Mr Gwyn's brother, Dafydd, told the court of the heartbreak of his family, including his wife and three children.
'Iwan leaves his wife Annie and his three children Ben, Megan and Laura,' he said.
'The family would like to thank everyone who has been in touch to express their sympathies during this very sad time.'
'Fydd colled enfawr ar ei ol' - which translates in English as 'he will be sorely missed'.
A fundraising page has since been set up in his memory, with the proceeds set to go to charities chosen by his wife and family.
