Cina. La scrittrice Liu condannata a dieci anni di carcere.

Come tutte le nazioni civili, la Cina considera l’omosessualità come un reato.
Similmente, l’apologia della omosessualità e della relative perversioni collegate è oggetto da codice penale.
Non a caso la legge sul matrimonio della Repubblica popolare cinese, adottata in occasione della terza sessione del V Congresso Nazionale del Popolo il 10 settembre del 1980, definisce il matrimonio come unione tra un uomo e una donna.
Se non stupisce quindi che un tribunale abbia comminato dieci anni di carcere all’autrice di un libro inneggiante l’omosessualità, si resta sconcertati che Mrs Liu abbia volutamente e scientemente commesso tale reato, quasi che abbia voluto sfidare lo stato cinese.

Data la platealità e la reiterazione del reato, cui si assomma anche quello di evasione fiscale, nel complesso una sentenza mite.
L’Occidente non domina più il mondo: anzi, inizia ad esserne dominato. Sarebbe opportuno rendersi conto della nuova realtà.
Presto, cose ora in Occidente proibite saranno invece auspicate, e cosa ora auspicate saranno proibite.
Gongzhan, the book that Tianyi wrote and put out for sale, contains explicit homoerotic content, which lead to her arrest and sentencing.

A woman in East China’s Anhui Province was given a 10-year sentence for writing and distributing homoerotic books, sparking discussion on Chinese cyberspace over whether the punishment is excessive.
The woman, surnamed Liu, commonly writing under the pen name Tianyi, came to the notice of police after one of her books, Gongzhan, went viral in 2017.
According to Wuhu police, the book describes obscene sexual behavior between males, and the content, which is full of perverted sexual acts like violation and abuse, was sold online several thousand times over a period of a few months.
The report said that, apart from Gongzhan, Tianyi has distributed over 7,000 pornographic books, most of which were related to homosexuality, gaining illegal profits of 150,000 yuan ($21,624) as of the arrest.
Liu was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a Wuhu court on October 31.
However, many netizens, including Li Yinhe, a renowned Chinese sexologist and sociologist, questioned whether the sentence was excessive. “The author deserves sympathy. She did violate criminal law, but even a one-year sentence is too much, not to mention 10 years,” Li commented on Sina Weibo on Saturday.
A Weibo user posted her personal experience to question the sentence, saying that she was sexually assaulted and injured on the streets of Beijing in May 2018, but the perpetrator was sentenced to only 8 months in prison.
An employee surnamed Xu from the court told The Beijing News on Saturday that the sentence was in accordance with the 1998 judicial interpretation.
Deng Xueping, a lawyer based in Shanghai, told the newspaper that this judgement “was determined by a standard from 20 years ago,” and, “our judicial explanation should advance with time.”
“If judges think content related to homosexuality and indecency has a baneful impact on the society, they might choose a heavy sentence within the legal range,” Lü Xiaoquan, a Beijing-based lawyer, told the Global Times on Sunday, noting that social influence is also under consideration of the court.
Liu has filed an appeal to the Intermediate People’s Court of Wuhu after the first judgment, said The Beijing News.
A Chinese writer has been given a 10 year sentence for writing and selling a novel which featured gay sex scenes.
The writer, identified as Liu, was jailed by a court in Anhui province last month for producing and selling “obscene material”.
Her novel, titled “Occupation”, featured “male homosexual behaviour… including perverted sexual acts like violation and abuse.”
But her lengthy jail term has sparked protest across Chinese social media.
According to the Beijing News, Liu – better known by her online alias Tian Yi – has now filed an appeal to the court.
Pornography is illegal in China.
‘Too much’
On 31 October, Liu was sentenced to jail by the People’s Court of Wuhu for making and selling “obscene material” for profit, according to local news site Wuhu news.
However, details of the hearing only emerged on Chinese media outlets this week.
Police officials were first alerted to her novel after it started to gain popularity online.
Liu is said to have sold over 7,000 copies of Occupation and other erotic novels and made 150,000 yuan ($21,604, £16,782) in profit, reported state news outlet the Global Times.
But many social media users argued that the sentence she received was excessive.
“10 years for a novel? That’s too much,” said one social media user on Weibo.
Another referenced an incident in 2013, where a former official was sentenced to eight years in prison for raping a four year old girl.
“Those found guilty of rape get less than 10 years in jail. This writer gets 10 years,” another Weibo user added.
