He was confined to his Peking quarters in July 1967, in retaliation for the jailing of eight left-wing journalists for violating emergency regulations during last year's riots in Hong Kong. The Chinese, who once hinted that Grey would be released when the eight journalists were freed (they have been), now insist that 13 others seized since Grey's confinement must also be turned loose. Hong Kong authorities refuse to play the blackmail game...
