The husband of an American businesswoman arrested in China on claims she spied and stole state secrets said she's being held in solitary confinement and is interrogated at least once a day.
Jeff Gillis said in a statement that his 55-year-old wife, Phan Phan-Gillis, met Wednesday with an American consulate official.
He said her health has stabilized after suffering from ailments since she was taken into custody in March while traveling with a trade delegation from her hometown of Houston.
Gillis said his wife is not allowed to speak with lawyers about the accusations against her. She has not been charged.
Phan-Gillis was detained for months before being formally arrested last weekend.
She said in comments relayed to her husband that her case is a political one, not criminal.
