Fang Bin, one of the citizens who reported the deaths from Covid in Wuhan in the early stages of the pandemic, has been released from prison after serving three years for his social media activities. Sources cited by the BBC report that he was released yesterday, has returned to Wuhan and is in good health.
In February 2020, Fang shared a video on social media in which he counted eight body bags of Covid dead being transported from a Wuhan hospital in just five minutes. Arrested and released that same night, he then disappeared after releasing another video calling for the “return of power to the people”. According to BBC sources, Fang was sentenced to three years in prison in a secret trial in Wuhan.
On the other hand, there is no news from Zhang Zhan, a 39-year-old former lawyer who was sentenced to four years in prison in December 2020 for spreading a video complaint about the Covid situation.
