According to the cover story, a 45-second video, which is referred to as “false”, has left the Guangdong Wyok woman, Royo, trapped in a vortex of criminal prosecution for more than two years.
The first trial was sentenced to one year and eight months, and the second trial was remanded for “undefined facts”; The first instance judgement was re-convicted after the case was re-examined and the second trial was reversed as “procedural irregularities”.
In May this year, the People's Procuratorate of Hueyang District, Huezhou, Guangdong Province, eventually withdrew the charges on the grounds that “there was insufficient evidence to prove that Royo Ring had issued a false video”.
Subsequently, the Hueyang District People ' s Court decided to compensate Ms. Rowe for her personal freedom and moral damage, totalling over $437 million, and apologized for her removal of the effects, rehabilitation and compensation.
Royo Ring has received a decision on compensation.
For a short video
The crime of being accused of seditious treatment
Royo Ring told cover journalists that in May 2021, she was working on the “Renovation of the rural habitat” on the basis of the “Renovation of the rural habitat” on the freshwater street of the Hueyang district of Huezhou.
During the construction process, bulldozers have disposed of crops in landfills. Royo Ring says they've been working on it for over 30 years. The latter was followed by a crowd of idle persons who were injured by his father-in-law in the process.
At 1 a.m. on 3 September 2022, a 45-second short video appeared on the short video platform. The video, which included both work-related machinery and personnel, was rapidly fermented.
This video, it completely changed the course of Ryoyo's life.
After 11 days, the woman, aged 37 years and 37 years, graduated undergraduate law from the university, was taken away by the police and was then detained and arrested for criminal offences related to sexual harassment.
The Wyyang District Prosecutor ' s Office has filed a complaint that Royo-Chang used video platforms to publish false videos, causing trouble and causing serious public disorder. However, this is only the first act of a long judicial law-sawing.
The land cultivated by the Royo family was levelled.
Biennial fourth review
Two-year four-year review
“Circulatory” of a case
In response to the prosecution ' s allegations, Ryoyo-cai always argued that the video in question was not produced, published or registered. None of these arguments were admitted by the courts in first or second instance.
On 27 October 2023, the People ' s Court of Hueyang District of Whezhou handed down a first instance judgement that Royo was guilty of sedition and sentenced to one year and eight months ' imprisonment.
Royo-Chang appealed the judgement.
On 1 March 2024, the City Intermediate People's Court of Whezhou set aside the sentence and remanded it for “undefined facts and insufficient evidence”.
At the retrial, the Huyyang District Court constituted a separate panel to hear the case again.
On 9 September 2024, the Heeyang District Court handed down a further conviction, which remained for a year and eight months.
In response, Ryoyo-cai continues to be in disagreement and has appealed again. On 17 July 2025, the City Intermediate People ' s Court of Whezhou decided for the second time that the case should be remanded.
Two convictions were handed down at first instance and two second instance decisions were remanded
- the case fell into a “circle of death” of justice. And Royo Ring at this time has spent 608 days and nights in the detention facility.
Decision on compensation.
The chain of evidence is broken
Final withdrawal of the prosecution service
During the second retrial, a critical turn was made.
On 24 March this year, the Hueyang District People's Procuratorate applied to the court for withdrawal of the complaint on the grounds that “the evidence was insufficient and the conditions for prosecution were not met”.
On 13 May, the Public Prosecutor's Office officially issued a Decision on Non-Indictment, which expressly concluded: “There is insufficient evidence to substantiate that Royo Ring had issued a false video. The blogger adds:
Thus, nearly four years of criminal proceedings ended with the conviction of Royo Ring as innocent by law.
In the decision not to prosecute, the prosecution admitted that the land in question was indeed a government reserve, but that the video material was a “false spell” of the Loya Ring, and whether the issuer was solely directed to the Loya Ring, where the chain of evidence was not closed at the key point.
Although Peng Choo identified and commissioned the clips of the Loya Ring, Royo Ring always justified “the video being used for its release”, while the recording equipment and IP track data from the backstage of the video platform were not fully retrieved, making the question “who pressed the key at what time” an unsolved mystery.
On 14 July, the People ' s Court of the Hueyang District decided on State compensation: a total of $437220.70 was paid to Royo Ring, of which $301531.52 was for personal liberty and $135689.18 for moral damages. At the same time, the Court decided to apologize for the impact of the Loya Ring, for its rehabilitation and for its compensation.
Journalists contacted the Huiyang District People ' s Procuratorate on the related interview and sent requests for an interview, to which the staff of the College indicated that they would respond. As of the time of the submission, however, no response had been received from the other party.
Counsel's interpretation
Counsel's interpretation
Progress in the rule of law with regard to the correction of errors and the restoration of rights
The senior partner of the Shunxi Xingda law firm, known as the pro bono lawyer, Zhao Yangsheng, believes that the Royo Ring case represents progress in the rule of law in both the dimensions of the correction of errors and the right to redress.
On the corrections level, the withdrawal of charges and the issuance of unprosecuted indictments in this case, which avoids the fall of a wrongful conviction, are important closed links between “corrections” and “corrections” during the trial stage.
However, the fact that two retrials, two convictions and the prolonged detention of the person concerned also reveal the lack of a short list of evidence that would indicate the need to strengthen the examination of the merits and the application of the norm in order to prevent the recurrence of cases.
The judgement in this case not only compensates for the loss of personal liberty, but also awards an apology for damages and removes the effects, reflecting that the wrong remedy cannot stop at “freedom for money” and must also repair the damage to reputation.
Of particular concern is the fact that the court's incorporation of the psychological trauma of minor children into the comprehensive mental harm assessment represents a shift in the administration of justice from “detention days only” to the assessment of the family chain damage, and a real return to the intention of the legislation to compensate for harm to the personal interest.
Counsel emphasizes that the case is of exemplary value in the form of a case involving a human being's expression
- that the legitimate defence of a citizen's rights should not be easily punished and that public prosecution must be in strict conformity with evidentiary standards. The change in compensation for wrongs, from “freedom to freedom to compensation” to “freedom to honour and family to honour”, clearly signals the progress of the rule of law.
