A man in northern China has been sentenced to 24 years in prison in connection with an attack on four women at a restaurant that stirred a national conversation on gender-based violence.
The man, Chen Jizhi, was found guilty of eight charges relating to the June attack in the city of Tangshan, as well as other criminal activities uncovered during the ensuing investigation, according to a statement issued by Guangyang District Court in Langfang, Hebei Province.
The court also found the attackers were members of a local criminal organization whose activities dated to 2012, including kidnapping, robbery and the running of gambling operations. Besides Chen, the other 27 defendants in the case were jailed for fixed terms ranging from six months to 11 years, while 19 of them were fined between 3,000 and 135,000 yuan .
“Don’t let his sentence be reduced — let him serve 24 years in prison, and then come out to find himself decoupled from society,” one user wrote.
