A Chinese solicitor from Hong Kong and her son argued in a London tribunal that the U.K. Security Service, MI5, had unfairly labeled her as a spy for China. The solicitor, who is a devout Christian, claimed it is 'unlikely' Beijing would choose her due to her religious beliefs. She stated that being branded a Chinese spy has 'destroyed her life' and that she was used as a 'political football'. The tribunal heard that MI5's actions were unlawful and breached her human rights.
