A citizen reporter who was detained by the authorities was sentenced to four years in prison for reporting the situation in Wuhan, China, where the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) first spread.

According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 28th, the Shanghai People’s Court convicted Jang Jang, 37, a former lawyer and citizen reporter who was accused of disturbing public order. Jang’s lawyer said that day, “Jang Jan’s health is not good.”

Jang, who visited Wuhan in early February of this year, informed the outside world of the severity of the Corona 19 incident through social media such as YouTube. In the process, video clips of the Wuhan Virus Research Institute, hospitals, and cosmetics sites, which are heavily guarded, were uploaded. At the same time, it revealed that the Chinese authorities are not informing the residents of the severity of Corona 19 and are censoring the media.

Afterwards, the Chinese Communist Party arrested the chief on charges of “promoting conflict and agitation.” He was charged with “spreading false information through Internet media such as WeChat and YouTube, maliciously analyzing the Corona 19 situation in Wuhan, and interviewing foreign media.”

Zhang Zan, who was imprisoned in a detention center in Shanghai’s Pudong district, denied the charges during a hunger strike. Controversy also arose when there were claims that the authorities forced them to feed them.

Jang Jang, who met with an attorney earlier this month, said that the mouth and throat were severely inflamed. When he fought for fasting, the correctional authorities forcibly injected liquid food by inserting a tube into the intestine’s neck. Also, at the time of the visit, both hands were fixed to the front and back of the body, which was said to prevent the tube from being removed.

Other citizen reporters who shared the situation in Wuhan also suffered. SCMP said, “Zhang Zan is one of the few citizen reporters who reported the early experiences of Wuhan people during the blockade of Wuhan during the first outbreak of the coronavirus. Reported.
