China has finally “freed” citizen journalist Zhang Zhan who was jailed in 2020 for filming and writing about the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
The charity Reporters Without Borders (RSF), which had campaigned for her release, said it continued to be concerned by her situation, as she remains under strict surveillance by the authorities.
RSF added that “partial freedom is not freedom at all”. It called for diplomatic intervention “to ensure her full and unconditional release without delay”.
