No matter what name the "keyboard warriors" use to cover up their illegal behavior, the law will hold them seriously responsible.

html On January 31, the Chongqing Fifth Intermediate People’s Court executed Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen, the two murderers of the Chongqing sister and brother falling case. Late that night, Chen Meilin, the biological mother of the murdered sibling, said, "Even now, I am still being bullied online." She had fixed the evidence in accordance with the lawyer's advice, and would report the case to the police station in the jurisdiction, and planned to prosecute the internet bullies.After the case of Chongqing sister and brother falling to death, Chen Meilin undoubtedly suffered unimaginable pain. The brother and sister's biological father and his girlfriend actually collaborated to kill the young children, which can be described as inhumane and outrageous to both humans and gods. Chen Meilin asserted her rights and fought for the justice she deserved for her children. This was a legitimate thing to do, but she was considered to be "consuming her children and taking advantage of her traffic."
Now, the death penalty verdict and final execution by the judicial authorities have confirmed the murderer He deserves it. Maintaining sympathy and understanding for mothers who have lost their children is the most basic goodwill in society. Those who commit cyber violence against Chen Meilin and make malicious attack remarks are nothing more than rubbing salt into the wound, causing secondary damage to Chen Meilin that lasts deeper and longer.
In the face of online violence, the law is the most effective response. "You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one." In the video released by Chen Meilin, she said that she had not spoken out before in order not to interfere with the normal trial of the case. Now that the case has been settled, she certainly has the right to take up legal weapons to defend her rights, which also shows her valuable legal awareness.
On September 25, 2023, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Punishing Internet Violence Illegal Crimes in accordance with the Law", clarifying the rules for handling illegal Internet violence and forming a systematic network A framework for criminal governance of violence.
According to the above-mentioned "Guiding Opinions", for cases where the victim files a private prosecution for online insult or defamation, if the People's Court determines after review that it is really difficult for the victim to provide evidence, it may request the public security organs to provide assistance. If, with the assistance of the public security organs in collecting evidence, the conditions for accepting a private prosecution case are met, the People's Court shall decide to file the case. These regulations provide a clear legal path for Chen Meilin to safeguard his rights.
The "Guiding Opinions" also pointed out that malicious marketing and hype behaviors carried out through online violence incidents shall be punished in accordance with the law. The online violence against Chen Meilin continues to this day, and even after the verdict was handed down, there is still slander and slander. It is also necessary to check whether there is malicious marketing and hype behind it. Who is eating "human blood steamed buns" through traffic?
The investigation of the perpetrators of the Chongqing sister and brother death case is not Chen Meilin’s war alone, but an act of national public prosecution to maintain social security and stability. If someone still ignores legal authority and commits cyber violence at this time, if it constitutes serious harm to social order and national interests, he will meet the conditions for public prosecution and face prosecution by the procuratorate.
Everyone who surfs the Internet should understand that committing cyber violence is not just a quick talk. It is not only the deprivation and harm of the rights and interests of others, but also an illegal act that violates the law and may face penalties. No matter what name "keyboard warriors" use to cover up their illegal behavior, the law will hold them seriously responsible. Written by
