This "insulting China" was sentenced

After 5 years, the highly watched Du Du Provincial Association of South Africa charged 12 locals to maliciously abuse and hate Chinese cases on the Internet and ended in the Chinese case. On July 28, the South African Hao Deng Provincial High Court issued a final ruling. In the case, most of the defendants were punished by 50,000 to 150,000 Rante (1 Rante's approximately 0.4 yuan) and community labor. This is the first time that the Chinese and overseas Chinese in South Africa have launched a lawsuit on "insulting China" for hundreds of years and achieved victory, marking that South Africa Chinese communities have made significant progress in maintaining their own image and rights and interests.

In January 2017, a farm launched by locals in South Africa was exposed to hundreds of illegal slaughter donkeys and found more than 5,000 donkey skins on the farm. In the absence of evidence, the British Broadcasting Corporation and some South African media have pulled this matter to China, thinking that the high demand for Ejiao in the Chinese market has caused donkeys to be "abused". On January 29th, with a TV program about donkey skin transactions in South Africa, some South African netizens' Qiu Hua's remarks emerged in large numbers. They posted a number of Facebook accounts, including the Chinese Association of Du Province, a well -known China News Agency, and the Chinese people who were demonized and insulted the Chinese "despicable and evil". Some people claimed that they would "eliminate" the Chinese from the earth. Even threatening to "kill the Chinese children" ...

"Today's verdict is to tell these people that the Chinese cannot be arbitrarily insulted, and the criminals have to pay the price for this." No matter how silent, he proposed a complaint, and he did not hesitate to make a statement for the Chinese people. I was glad to get a fair judgment and believe that the Tomorrow of the Chinese community in South Africa will be better. "

Hu Lizhen, a South African -American lawyer who provided legal services to the insulting statement of the statement this time, told reporters that "Although South Africa has the law of" Hate Speaking Law ", which specifically prohibits the law on violence against specific people, the road to litigation is not smooth. The defendant took a variety of means such as denial, delay, and claiming insufficient evidence to try to evade sanctions. We are pleased with the judgment of the judge today, which has achieved our 90%-95%litigation purpose. "According to reporters The reason why the program was broadcast was not listed as the object of the lawsuit because the relevant responsible parties had made clarion and apology in time. In addition, the main reports of its relevant reports have not touched the criteria for the "Hate Speech Law" in South Africa.

The ultimate victory of winning the insulting statement made South Africa Chinese overseas Chinese rejoicing. At the entrance of the High Court of Hao Deng, dozens of Chinese and overseas Chinese representatives celebrated the signs such as "defeating hatred of hatred" and "proud Chinese". Some people cry, some people embrace and congratulate each other, more people choose to take pictures at the door of the court to record this historical moment that makes South Africa proud. Mr. Sun, the overseas Chinese, who came from Billeria early that day, told reporters excitedly: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. In the past, we Chinese people bowed their heads and were now able to raise their heads!"

Not only the Chinese overseas Chinese in South Africa, the insulting statement lasted five years, and the entire trial process also attracted much attention from all walks of life in South Africa. On the day of the case sentence, a number of local South African media reported on -site reports that the inside and outside the High Court became the focus of attention inside and outside the court. At the entrance of the court, there were other South African black communities. When they learned that the Chinese won the case in the insulting statement of China, the original song and dance ceremony added the elements of congratulations to the Chinese. Equal countries will not be accepted by hatred and suppression of any ethnic group. "

Southern African Chinese councilor Sun Yaoheng told reporters at the scene, "The judgment of the South African High Court today has historic significance. For four hundred years, the Chinese have been oppressed in South Africa. Today's judgment represents the victory of Chinese people in South Africa for their own rights and interests. There are not many cases of trials on hate remarks in South Africa. This time, the Chinese victory also provides an important case basis for such trials in South Africa. More importantly, the trial and judgment of this case have aroused widespread society. Promote different ethnic and ethnic groups in South Africa to know more about Chinese and Chinese culture, and create favorable conditions for Chinese overseas Chinese to better integrate into the local society.
