The U.S. Justice Department has charged five individuals for targeting Chinese nationals living in the United States "for their pro-democracy views."
The "victims were targeted because of their pro-democracy views," U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said during a Wednesday press briefing. Defendants are accused of "conspiring to act as agents of the PRC government," he continued.
The five defendants are accused of threatening and spying on Chinese individuals in the United States who expressed opposition to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an effort to help Chinese officials target them for arrest, DOJ officials said.
