A Chinese court has handed a four-year jail term to a citizen journalist who reported from the central city of Wuhan at the peak of last year's coronavirus outbreak.Her YouTube videos include interviews and footage of the Wuhan Institute of VirologyOne of her lawyers, Ren Quanniu, said it was on grounds of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble."
"We will probably appeal," Mr Ren said, adding the trial at a court in Pudong, a district of China's business hub of Shanghai, ended with Zhang being sentenced to four years. Police enforced tight security outside the court where the trial opened seven months after Zhang's detention. Zhang reportedly went on a prolonged hunger strike while in detention, prompting authorities to forcibly feed her, and is said to be in poor health.

All societies have gone through their own social evolution. Honesty & progress would be good things in all societies. No society is perfect but they can, in many cases be better. All societies including ours need AFundamentalShift in HOW AND WHY we run them. Struggle2Survive

JocelMR Hey JacquiLambie you heard of this Wuhan virus? Like 4th December? Must have had some *national security* implications? Info only a few privvy to? Enough to halt the transfer of sick people to the mainland ie Medevac ? 2020CountdownJacqui
Another clear example of China punishing everyone (and every country like Australia) for trying to expose the truth about COVID-19
free speech in jail only it seems
Awful country with a demented government and yet another reason Australia should decouple as fast as possible.
DanielAndrewsMP’s silence on this is duly noted. You can’t selectively get involved in foreign affairs as a State Premier. Does he condemn the behaviour of his masters or not? If not, why not?
A Chinese journalist go to the jail and become trend. Everyday Iranian journalists have being executed and noone knows🤔 روح_الله_زم
China doesn't like their WuFlu seeding strategy made public. It's sad some so called Australians think they are our friend. Not even close.
Yeah, soon this will be everywhere. Congrats to America by electing Democrats and help China
Britain jails australian citizen for publishing news that embarrasses the US without the US having any jurisdiction over assange but appears to have more dictatorial power than China yet abcnews is blind to real journalism MaryKostakidis
And y’all think China didn’t hide covid, create covid, lie about covid, and distort all their data reporting.
Bet that Jimmy Lai from H.K. will be behind bars more than hers later.
Smoko sends his goons around to raid female journalists underwear draw to silence war crimes and other Australian government atrocities.
My dream job - investigative journalist in China!
Also wish the world’s attention to the abducted 12 HK youths! After 120 days of detention in quiet, the trial took place today, not even allow the diplomats to sit-in, this is the juridical system in China, basically this is dictatorship & no rule of law! save12hkyouths
China - everyone's favourite murdering, torturing Commie dictatorship. Fabulous...
