Zhang Dongning, a talented pig painter, was just released from prison last year and sentenced to one year for provocation and disturbance.

Zhang Dongning, the author of a series of cartoons about a pig-headed person in Huainan, Anhui province, was recently sentenced to one year in prison by the authorities for “provoking and provoking trouble” in connection with Jiang Ge’s case.

According to the Rights Defense Network, Zhang Dongning, a 90-year-old female cartoonist, was sentenced to one year in prison by the authorities for “provoking and nuisance” after she returned from Japan in May 2019 for creating a series of more than 300 “pig-headed human” cartoons based on many hot news events in mainland China, which caused widespread public debate but offended the authorities’ political sensitivities. In May 2019, after returning from Japan, Zhang Dongning was formally arrested by the authorities on the grounds that his cartoons were “insulting to China” and sentenced to one year in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Zhang was released from prison on May 8 last year.

But recently, Zhang Dongning was sentenced to one year in prison again for speaking after the Jiang Ge case, and is currently detained in Huainan City Detention Center.

The mother of Jiang Ge, a Chinese female graduate student killed in a case that took place in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, Japan, in 2016, confirmed on April 3 that she had received a verdict from the Tianjiaan District Court in Huainan City, according to Punch News. The court found that Zhang Dongning used the information network to insult others in a bad manner and disrupt the social order. The court sentenced Zhang Dongning to one year in prison on March 4 this year for the crime of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”.
