Anna Kerstin Erica Lindstedt (born 6 April 1960 [citation needed]) was the Swedish Ambassador to Beijing from 2016 to early 2019.
[2] In February 2019, Gui Minhai's daughter Angela made a blog post documenting a "very strange experience" involving Lindstedt.
In it, she alleged that Lindstedt contacted her in mid-January and invited her to a meeting in Stockholm that she had set up with some Chinese businessmen who she thought could help secure her father's release.
[3] Angela recounted in her blog that the meetings were held at a private lounge in a Stockholm hotel, where she was sequestered for days, and was even escorted to and from the bathroom.
[3] To Angela, Ambassador Lindstedt's presence and seemingly supportive stance suggested the talks were initiated by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
