As expected by the defendant’s lawyer, the court announced the verdict of the second trial on Friday (23rd) without a hearing. Insiders revealed that the court of second instance will uphold the original verdict of the first instance. The case involved the leaking of personal information about Xi’s family, which led to the sentencing of 24 netizens, with some of the defendants receiving heavy sentences.
Guangdong Maoming Intermediate Court judge Zhang Shuming informed lawyers two days ago that the case will be sentenced directly this Friday (23rd), and that lawyers and family members are not allowed to appear in court. Insider sources said the court of second instance will uphold the verdict of the first trial.
The two lawyers, Wang Yu and Bao Longjun, ignored the state security warning and rushed to Maoming, Guangdong, on Wednesday night (21). Bao Longjun said he received a phone call the next day from Zhang Chi, a judge at the Maoming Central Court, saying that the president had rejected the lawyers’ application for recusal of the second trial judge, Zhang Shuming.
The judge said that all the lawyers were restricted by the local police station and state security, and they were not allowed to come to Maoming to attend the sentencing; the parents were also restricted, and they could not come; in the afternoon, he suddenly received a phone call from Zhang Chi, the judge of the Niu Tengyu case, who said that he rejected your application for recusal of Zhang Shuming, and Wang Yu received a phone call from Chen Ye, the clerk, who told Wang Yu that the sentencing would be held tomorrow in the first courtroom of the Maonan court, and Wang Yu said Wang Yu said, “You only informed me today, don’t you think it’s illegal”, Wang Yu said, “You don’t hold court, how to pronounce the sentence ah”, she had nothing to say, Wang Yu told her, “I want to file a complaint against you”.
Niu Tengyu’s defense attorney Bao Longjun revealed that the court notified the lawyer that the case was “Niu Tengyu and Xiao Yanrui black evil forces case”. According to Bao Longjun, every charge in this case is ridiculous.
Bao Longjun said: this case is a false case, false case, fabricated such a “vicious group of cases”, the unrelated children into a “gang” to, many children NiuTengYu do not know, those children have a few two know NiuTengYu, the rest of the children even NiuTengYu is a “gang”. The other children don’t even know who Niu Tengyu is, so how can he be a “criminal gang”?
Niu Tengyu’s mother denounced the joint efforts of Guangdong’s public prosecutors and law enforcement to fabricate an unjust case, a “high-ranking black” of the Communist Party’s top leader Xi Jinping; she vowed to fight for her son’s injustice to the end.
Niu Tengyu’s mother said: “Our child is too innocent, if not acquitted, I can’t accept it, next I will continue to defend my rights to the end, as long as I am still alive, I will defend my rights to the end, I am not afraid of its death threats. I believe that one day President Xi will know the truth. President Xi once said “strive to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case”, the people handling the case are obviously doing the right thing.
Dozens of times, we called the office phone of Guangdong Maoming Central Court, the Procuratorate, the Central Inspection Group in Maoming, and the cell phone of the second trial judge Zhang Shuming, but no one answered or simply hung up.
Xiao Yanrui, the founder of “Vulgar Wiki” who lives in Japan, protested the official “black and evil forces” accusation. He believes that the authorities are using this as a way to suppress the new generation on the Internet, and that the larger black hand is coming from a higher level, so the outcome of Niu Tengyu’s second trial is in doubt.
Xiao Yanrui said: “The term “black and evil forces” is completely untenable, the whole process is completely dehumanizing, and there is no basis in law. At the time, we thought it was the local Maoming authorities who did this, but now we believe that it is not just the local Maoming authorities themselves, but the entire state apparatus that is persecuting the 24 people involved in this case, and that the state apparatus is being unreasonable because the upper echelons of the Chinese government are also supporting this kind of behavior, to prevent people from getting information about high-ranking officials in the future, and they are also afraid that their property and children’s information overseas will be exposed. They are also afraid that information about their assets and children overseas will be exposed.
Mr. L, the editor-in-chief of the overseas website “Vulgar Wiki”, which initially publicized information about Xi’s family, once again expressed his willingness to take responsibility for the Xi Mingze leak and demanded that the Chinese Communist authorities immediately release Niu Tengyu.
In May 2019, the overseas websites “Red Bank Foundation” and “Chinawiki” successively exposed the personal information of Xi Jinping’s daughter Xi Mingze and brother-in-law Deng Jiagui, and in June of that year the Chinese Ministry of Public Security set up a task force, but the Guangdong Maoming Internet police put the mainland’s domestic In June of that year, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security set up a task force, but the Guangdong Maoming Internet police arrested 24 operators and members of “Vulgar Wiki” on the mainland. They alleged that they were tortured to extract confessions while in custody.
The station has learned that the Tianjin State Security will arrive in Maoming, Guangdong in the evening and intend to forcibly take Wang Yu and Bao Longyu out of Maoming. Friday’s sentencing is expected to be a rare scene with no clients, lawyers or family members present in court.
