Australian PM 'concerned' over China death sentence for Oz actor

Australia's prime minister expressed concern Monday for an Australian man sentenced to death in China in a case that could further inflame tensions between Beijing and Canberra. A Chinese court revealed on Saturday that Karm Gilespie, who used to work in Sydney as an actor and then an investment coach, had been condemned to death earlier in the week on drug-smuggling charges. Gilespie was detained seven years earlier but his case had not been made public by Beijing, Australian authorities or his family.
