Australian lawyer held in Mongolia: "Ms Armstrong is a regular business traveller in and out of Mongolia as an employee of SouthGobi Resources and has been living in Hong Kong.
Australian consul general David Lawson accompanied Ms Armstrong and her lawyer to the interrogation. Mr Lawson was seeking answers as to why Ms Armstrong had been held by authorities.
The Mongolian embassy in Canberra has refused to answer questions about what laws they were using to hold Ms Armstrong in Mongolia and the nature of the investigation.
Mongolian media have speculated that Ms Armstrong was questioned by the Independent Authority Against Corruption over possible bribery investigation between SouthGobi and D. Batkhuyag, the former chairman of the Minerals Resources Authority in Mongolia."
