Zhang Zhan, the Chinese person journalist who narrated the early days of the Covid-19 crises in Wuhan, was sentenced by a Chinese court today to 4 years in jail.
Zhan’s independent reportage, that included video of overcrowded health centers and supported whistleblowers, contravened of the Chinese government for diverting from the main state story of the outbreak. She is the very first recognized journalist to stand trial for Covid protection.
The person reporter, a former lawyer based in Shanghai, had initiated a hunger strike in demonstration of her arrest, only to be force-fed through a feeding tube. The sentencing today was fulfilled by protests in Hong Kong.
