YINCHUAN, May 22 (ChinaMil) -- A man in Yinchuan, capital city of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, who posted insulting comments on martyrs on the Internet, has been held in administrative detention by the police, said the Public Security Bureau of Yinchuan.

记者从宁夏回族自治区银川市公安局获悉,银川市一男子在网上发表侮辱英烈的言论,被警方依法行政拘留。

According to the police, at 23:00 p.m. on May 17, a netizen surnamed Jiang posted on social media Sina Weibo insulting comments on martyrs including Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang, and said "I'll wait and see whether I'll be arrested for posting these comments".

据银川市警方介绍,5月17日23时,网民蒋某栋在“新浪微博”发布侮辱英雄烈士董存瑞、黄继光等的言论,并在网帖中称“我看看我发这个话会不会被抓”。

The post caused great indignation online. After receiving the report, Yinchuan police soon brought Jiang, who was then living in downtown Yinchuan, to the police station, where he admitted to the act of posting the illegal comments and accepted the penalty decision made by the police. In accordance with related laws, Jiang was fined 500 yuan and kept in administrative detention for 10 days for insulting others.

这一帖子一经发出,引发网民极大愤慨。银川市警方接网民举报后,迅速开展工作,将住在银川市金凤区的蒋某栋传唤到案,蒋某栋对其在网上发表违法言论的事实供认不讳。经民警批评教育,蒋某栋对自身错误言行表示悔过,并接受警方的处罚。目前,蒋某栋因侮辱他人被警方依法处以行政拘留10日并处500元罚款的处罚。

The police noted that cyberspace is also governed by the law. The Law of the People's Republic of China on Protection of Heroes and Martyrs has come into force since May 1, 2018, which stipulates that the name, portrait, reputation and honor of the heroes and martyrs are under legal protection. Any distortion, defamation, blasphemy and denial of their merits and spirit is prohibited and is punishable, even criminally, in accordance with the law.

警方提醒,网络不是法外之地,《中华人民共和国英雄烈士保护法》已经实施,英雄烈士的姓名、肖像、名誉、荣誉受法律保护,禁止歪曲、丑化、亵渎、否定英雄烈士的事迹和精神,否则将依法惩处直至追究刑责。
