China News Service, October 27. According to the official Weibo news of the Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court, the netizen Tan Bin was sued by Jiang Qiulian for insult and defamation for posting articles and cartoons related to Jiang Ge's case on Weibo. .

On the morning of the 27th, the Shanghai Second Intermediate Court issued a public judgment on the case through an online trial platform, ruling to reject Jiang Qiulian and Tan Bin’s appeals and uphold the original judgment.

  On November 3, 2016, Jiang Ge was killed by his roommate Liu Xin's ex-boyfriend Chen Shifeng while studying in Japan.

On December 20, 2017, Chen Shifeng was sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Tokyo District Court of Japan.

The case has aroused widespread concern and comments from netizens.

Netizen Tan Bin posted a series of articles and cartoons related to Jiang Ge's case through his Sina Weibo account "Posh-Bin".

Jiang Qiulian believed that the above-mentioned cartoons and articles constituted insults and defamation to Jiang Ge and himself, and sued the Shanghai Putuo Court for Tan Bin's insult and defamation.

  The Shanghai Putuo Court sentenced Tan Bin to one year’s imprisonment for insults and nine months’ imprisonment for defamation, and decided to execute one year and six months’ imprisonment.

After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, the private prosecutor Jiang Qiulian and the defendant Tan Bin both appealed to the Shanghai Second Intermediate Court.

  Jiang Qiulian appealed that Tan Bin fabricated the fact that he used his daughter's death to collect money and defrauded donations and slandered him. The court of first instance failed to confirm the case and should be amended.

  Tan Bin appealed that he learned about Jiang Ge's case through Weibo in 2018, and later became prejudiced against Jiang Qiulian under the influence of public opinion, and followed the trend and participated in the online scolding war.

The comic series and insulting articles he published were collected in bits and pieces from his Weibo reading, and were not original. The slander of Jiang Ge's "Love Killing" was that he followed the trend and participated in expressing his views after reading online speech analysis.

He now pleaded guilty and repented, apologized to Jiang Qiulian, and hoped to make economic compensation to Jiang Qiulian, reconcile with Jiang Qiulian, mediate, and request a lighter punishment from the court of second instance.

  The Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court believes that after Tan Bin learned of Jiang Ge's murder in Japan, instead of sympathizing, he insulted and slandered Jiang Qi and Jiang Qiulian, the mother of Jiang Ge, who had never known each other through the Internet since 2018. , Blatantly belittles, damages the personality of others, damages the reputation of others, the circumstances are serious, his behavior has constituted a crime of insult, slander, and should be punished for multiple crimes in accordance with the law.

  Regarding Jiang Qiulian's belief that Tan Bin slandered his daughter's death to accumulate money and defrauded donations, after investigation, Jiang Qiulian initiated fundraising through an easy online fundraising platform after Jiang Ge was killed. After removing the handling fee, he raised more than 290,000 yuan.

Jiang Qiulian spent more than 300,000 yuan in legal fees, certification fees, translation fees, and air tickets in Japan for rights protection.

At the same time, Jiang Qiulian used his Weibo account to publish Alipay, WeChat accounts and ICBC accounts to accept social donations, but did not provide evidence of the specific amount of social donations and expenditures.

Therefore, Jiang Qiulian accused Tan Bin of fabricating the fact that he used his daughter's death to collect money and defrauded donations to slander him. The evidence is insufficient and cannot be determined.

However, without sufficient evidence, Tan Bin should not speculate or blame others on the Internet.

  In summary, the Shanghai Second Intermediate Court ruled to reject Jiang Qiulian and Tan Bin’s appeals and uphold the original verdict.
