8 Netizens Accused for Rumour Mongering Unpunished by the Ministry of Public Security
Eight netizens from mainland China were being accused for rumour mongering after spreading false news on Wuhan coronavirus. The response of the Wuhan police was that these people were educated and criticised by the law afterwards, but no further punishment was imposed. After the National Health Department notified the public about the pneumonia on 31 Dec 2019, somebody reported that there were people spreading false information on the internet. The Ministry of Public Security investigated and verified the eight suspects in succession. After investigation, these people were revealed to have shared and forwarded unverified messages, which contained rumours of the hospital having multiple confirmed cases of SARS.
However, due of the mild severity of this crime, the accused were not given warnings, neither were they detained or slapped with a fine.
Wuhan police said that the eight of them were arrested on the 1st January 2020.

Editor's note: The national anthem of PRC, “March of the Volunteers” is actually a revolutionary song. The lyrics of the song is about standing up and resisting the enemies, which is encouraging and motivational. It is quite ironic to see Chinese netizens using the lyrics of their own national anthem to show their dissentience towards the authority which tried to cover up the outbreak of WARS, but turns out to be banned.
