Zhang Zhan, a journalist who became well-known for capturing the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China, is expected to be released after serving a four-year sentence. Zhang Zhan flew from Shanghai to Wuhan in 2020, providing direct descriptions of the overcrowded hospitals in Wuhan, China, revealing the truth of the pandemic. Unfortunately, she was jailed by authorities in May 2020 because of the videos she has taken, and she later went on a hunger strike, inducing the police to restrain her. In December of that year, a Shanghai court convicted her of "provoking trouble," and she was sentenced to four years in prison. According to a human rights activist, she is set to be released on Monday. However, one of Zhang Zhan's lawyers indicated that he could not yet verify her release.

Good for her, she should have not provoked trouble. Her reputation now is shady. She lacks self control.

These days we can't even tell what's the truth from the lie any longer.

That's right, many faked news and even exposed distorted facts and figures. They're troublemakers and like to stay behind bars.

Apparently it seems to be as she did well, she find out as the virus was prepared in laboratory and spread from there. It could be possible as she may have some prove.

She can't prove and created trouble instead. It's better to keep the mouth shot and talk to the right person.

I hope she has learned her lesson now. Some people just have to learn the hard way

Hoping she had learned a lesson. It's good to keep the shut to avoid disparity of feeling and experiences.

My point too mate. People sometimes need to be treated this way so that they know they don't need to do some stupid things
