Chinese artist Gao Zhen received a three-year prison sentence for his satirical artwork. Authorities charged him with “infringing upon the reputation of heroes” for his art. Gao’s wife expressed deep disappointment and sadness over the unexpected conviction. His supporters argue the artworks predate the law under which he was prosecuted. The sentence highlights China’s narrowing space for artistic and political expression.
