In the "Judicial Interpretation by the Supreme Court Regarding Criminal Cases of Defamation Using Online Information."
Article 5 clearly stipulates: Using the information network to insult or intimidate others, in cases with severe circumstances, disrupting social order, resulting in someone's suicide or death, shall be convicted and punished according to Article 293, Paragraph 1, Subsection (2) of the criminal law, for the crime of provoking trouble.
And obviously.
The case of Zhou Xiaoqing fully meets the condition of causing someone's suicide.
There is hospital-issued proof as evidence.
It can turn the crime of defamation...
Into a crime of provoking trouble.
Additionally.
If it upgrades to the crime of provoking trouble, the sentence will increase from less than three years to between five and ten years!
Because...
The crime of provoking trouble, in general cases, is sentenced to less than five years in prison.
