Rio Tinto workers get China trial date

Date: 17 Mar 2010

China has set a trial date for four Rio Tinto employees charged with bribery and violating commercial secrets, the Australian government has said.

The employees of the mining company will face a closed court in Shanghai on 22 March.
Australian citizen Stern Hu, Rio Tinto's lead iron ore negotiator in China, is one of the four facing trial.

Mr Hu and his Chinese colleagues Liu Caikui, Ge Minqiang and Wang Yon have been in detention since July last year.

If convicted, they could face up to 27 years in prison.
