A
Chinese blogger Qin Zhihui, 30,who was accused of spreading rumours
about the government and celebrities has become the first blogger to be
jailed since the government decided to crackdown on online bloggers .He
was slammed with a 3 year jail sentence for 'rumour mongering'.
According
to China Post, they claim Qin & his 3 colleagues spread false
reports that a foreign victim of the 2011 train crash received a
£24million in compensation while denying equal payment to Chinese
families.
The post was reposted more than 11,000 times with over 3,000 comments all lashing out at the government.
They
also claim he sensationalized his headlines to drive traffic to
websites, targeting public figures, such as retired major general Luo
Yan, television personality Yang Lan , and Zhang Haidi, an advocate for
the disabled.
During his final judgement, he said
"I don't want to defend myself .I just want to say that I hope my experience is a lesson to other microbloggers."
