The Communist government of China locked up a citizen journalist for four years. Her crime? Reporting on the Covid-19 virus in Wuhan when the Chicoms were trying to cover up its existence. The Guardian (U.K.) reported yesterday:
Zhang Zhan, a 37-year-old former lawyer and citizen journalist who was arrested in May while reporting from Wuhan, has been sentenced to four years in jail.
Zhang was arrested for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” – an accusation commonly used against dissidents, activists and journalists – with her video and blog reports from the Wuhan lockdown. Last month she was charged with disseminating false information.
On Monday afternoon, just hours after the trial began, Zhang’s lawyer said she had been sentenced to four years in jail....
The indictment sheet released last week said Zhang had sent “false information through text, video and other media through the internet media such as WeChat, Twitter and YouTube”.
“She also accepted interviews from overseas media Free Radio Asia and Epoch Times and maliciously speculated on Wuhan’s Covid-19 epidemic,” it said. A sentence of four to five years was recommended.
After the hearing, Zhang’s lawyer, Zhang Keke said Zhang appeared in court in a wheelchair, and that her mother burst into tears when the verdict was announced.
Zhang has been restrained 24 hours-a-day, and force fed with a tube after she went on hunger strike, Zhang Keke said earlier this month. Zhang Keke visited again on Christmas day, and in a blog post said his client had lost 15 to 20kg and her hair had been cut short.... Article

Hint: absolutely nothing
" The Communist government of China "
That sums everything up in five words.
The CCP is evil. Nothing they do surprises me.
Coming to a country near you.
And yet the NBA sees nothing wrong here
LOL and Edward Snowden would be buried under a fed penitentiary if he is ever extradited. Julian Assange was self imprisoned in that embassy in London hiding from US extradition. The crimes of this nation are numerous. Our intelligence agencies operate to protect the elites. Our military is basically a Zionist mercenary force, brainwashed to fight a Judeo-Christian crusade.
Don't pretend like this is the land of the free. It is far from it.
They are trying to do the same in Florida . Why no mention of that, I always heard you should take care of your house, before you worry about your neighbors.

That's one of the most goofy comments in the history of KF's blog.
Put down the bong and take a 48 hour nap.
Meanwhile here in the USA. Online Piracy is now a felony thanks to the Covid Relief bill that Trump just signed. Yup, shutting down steaming video is a top priority!

Note for KF: Torrent Freak is just a news site. They do not promote piracy or share illegal content. They just report news about also who gets busted.
Everybody knows Fish is a Red,but he’s been pretty unbiased of late. I should know, much of my (liberal leaning) comments have been published lately.
From the Cold War era: "If you're red, you're dead.
"And yet the NBA sees nothing wrong here". Would you with the amount of money they take in from China? What is going on there is probably not much different than when, as a very young country, we had the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798. Have to agree with an earlier poster as this will, in my belief, happen in this country when President Harris and Greasy fingers take over. Can't have anyone talking bad about them now can we.
@9:26: Thank you Louis Farrakhan.
@Kingfish
Gitmo basically took away any argument America could every make regarding another nation’s human rights policy.
And as for everyone attacking @9:26. Your inability to prove them wrong betrays your own ignorance. Character assassination is not an argument.
That is how they roll and millions of Americans desire the same.
