It is only possible in China that a journalist be put in jail just because he informed the world about the corona infection. The journalist who has been jailed by China is a woman journalist and her crime is only that she has made many revelations about the Corona infection in China.
The name of the female journalist who exposed China’s corona infection to the world is Zheng Zhan, who has been sentenced to 4 years by the Chinese administration. Earlier, Jhan was detained in May this year for reporting the corona virus. This news also would not have been revealed to the world if the Hong Kong Free Press had not informed it.
What is the blame
The accusations that the Chinese administration has made to put female journalist Zhan in jail are also quite ridiculous. Jhan has been jailed for 4 years after being found guilty of causing a fight and disturbing the administration. There is a ban on public criticism of any kind in China against government actions.
China had already warned people associated with the profession, such as doctors, about Corona. Chinese media is also completely controlled on what to show or what to write. There is no intervention of private media there.
Chinese media has so far shown that due to the policies and strict action of President Xi Jinping, Corona was completely banned in China. Whereas journalists like Zhan presented the truth to the people facing the Corona epidemic in front of the whole world. To show this truth, Jhan is sentenced to jail.
Corona spread from China
The number of corona patients has reached beyond 8.11 crore in the world and the death toll is more than 17 lakh. The United States, India and Brazil have the highest cases of corona. There have been more than one crore total cases of infection in America and India. America has been accusing China from the beginning that the corona virus spread from the city of Wuhan has engulfed the whole world, but China did not take any effective action in time. The World Health Organization has also been criticized for favoring China.
Action has been taken on many people to bring out the truth of Corona in China. Among them is a female journalist Zhan. He has been in custody since May and has now been sentenced to 4 years. On Monday, hundreds of his supporters gathered outside the court before sentencing against Jhan. Jhan’s health is also not well already, but the administration did not take care of it.
3 Journalists have suffered in the past too
This is not the first case when the Chinese administration has sent such a punishment for reporting Corona. Earlier, three journalists also went missing under suspicious circumstances. They were all reporting about the corona virus. A journalist named Li Jehua was missing since February. However, in April, he suddenly appeared and said that he was in Quarantine. Apart from this, Chen Kiyushi came to know that he is under the supervision of the government. A journalist named Fang Bin is still not known.
Like these journalists, Zheng Zhan also made many reports in Wuhan. She went to Wuhan in February. In particular, she met families who lost their families because of Corona and wanted accountability from the administration. He has reported that many such families have been kept in custody.
She suddenly went missing on 14 May. A day later, he was arrested from Shanghai, 640 km from Wuhan. After this he was formally arrested on 19 September. After nearly three months, on September 9, he was provided with a lawyer.
