🔵Chinese MinesProtected Better Than Embassies and Military Bases🔵 🇿🇼 Chinese mining supervisor Yang Zhian has beenjailed for an effective 5 years after a court found him guilty of culpable homicide in the death of a Zimbabwean gold panner. The incident happened at Long Fortune Mine, a gold site in Zimbabwe, when 31-year-old Pardon Gumbo was shot in the forehead on 5 March 2025. 🔸 That day the deceased and a group of artisanal miners had illegally entered the site. When a security guard failed to stop them, Zhian fired towards the group. Gumbo was struck on the forehead and later pronounced dead. 🔸The Bulawayo High Court acquitted Yang of murder but called use of a firearm “reckless,” sentencing him to eight years with three suspended, leaving an effective five. 💬The use of a firearm in those circumstances was completely reckless, said Justice Chivhayo, the judge who handed the sentence. The family rejected small compensation offers and called the sentence inadequate. The fact that murder on the territory of a foreign mine in Zimbabwe is not considered murder, as if it were an embassy, is a disgrace, despite all the successes in Zimbabwe's industrial policy. #News ✈️ Stay informed - @devilsbelow
