Die inhaftierte Journalistin Zhang Zhan wurde vom chinesischen Regime an einen unbekannten Ort überführt. Die Behörden weigern sich, Auskunft über den Zeitpunkt der Verlegung zu erteilen und untersagen jegliche Besuche. Wir zeigen uns besorgt um ihre Sicherheit und fordern weiterhin: #FreeZhangZhan
Zhang Zhan was so weak she needed support entering the courtroom for her trial last week, where she was again sentenced to four years in prison. Her health has been severely affected by hunger strikes she undertakes to protest persecution. She does not belong in prison. #FreeZhangZhan

#China: Ein Gericht in Shanghai hat die Journalistin #ZhangZhan zu vier Jahren Haft verurteilt. Diplomat*innen wollten den Prozess beobachten, wurden aber nicht in das Gebäude gelassen. Zhang saß wegen ihrer Berichte über Covid19 aus Wuhan bereits vier Jahre im Gefängnis. Wir fordern: #FreeZhangZhan
Still shocked and outraged by Zhang Zhan’s baseless 4-year sentence. She should be honoured as an “information hero,” not locked in brutal prison conditions. The world must keep pressing Beijing for her immediate release. #FreeZhangZhan
