Questions are mounting over an alleged plan to quietly release and deport a convicted Chinese wildlife trafficker before his Malawi corruption trial concludes.
Serious questions are emerging over an alleged plan to secretly release and deport controversial Chinese national and convicted wildlife trafficker Lin Yunhua before the conclusion of his ongoing corruption trial in Malawi.
