The verdict provided stated that Huang Xueqin would also face a fine of 100,000 yuan ($14,000).
In this photo released by Free Huang Xueqin & Wang Jianbing, Chinese journalist Huang Xueqin holds up a #METOO sign for a photo in Singapore in Sept. 2017.
Working as an freelance journalist, Huang helped spark China’s first #MeToo case in 2018 when she publicized allegations of sexual harassment made by a graduate student against her Ph.D. supervisor at one of China's most prestigious universities. The International Women’s Media Foundation earlier gave Huang its Wallis Annenberg Justice for Women Journalists Award.
Amnesty International’s China Director Sarah Brooks issued a statement condemning Huang's conviction as an attack on women's advocacy in the People's Republic of China, which has long promoted the concept that “women hold up half the sky,” but whose institutions remain dominated by men.
