According to a news release from Ma Gangquan, a defense lawyer for Chen Zhaozhi, a retired teacher at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, the criminal division of the Beijing Haidian District Court has informed the court by phone that Chen Zhaozhi’s case against him for “provoking and provoking trouble” is scheduled to be heard in the morning of February 20 at the Shan Hou Court of the Beijing Haidian District Court.

It is reported that Chen Zhaozhi, a retired teacher from North University of Science and Technology, was criminally detained by the authorities in February last year and was arrested by the Haidian District Prosecutor’s Office on April 17 of the same year, on charges such as “the Wuhan virus is not a Chinese virus, but a Chinese Communist virus”. The charge was changed from “fabrication and intentional dissemination of false information” to “provoking and provoking trouble”. Chen’s Twitter account was last updated on Feb. 13 last year.

The report said Chen refused to sign the trial transcript because he believed the case was a political persecution by the Chinese Communist Party that infringed on his freedom of expression. But at the same Time, Chen Zhaozhi suffers from a number of illnesses, including High blood pressure and brain infarction, and could suffer health complications at any time.
