Chinese-Canadian singer and actor Kris Wu, a huge star in China, was sentenced to 13 years in prison, including for rape, according to a ruling on Friday, a case that had caused a scandal in the country.
 
The 32-year-old artist was sentenced to “11 years and six months of imprisonment for rape”, according to the judgment of the Chaoyang District Court in Beijing, which added that he “was also sentenced to one year and 10 months of imprisonment for the crime of gathering people to commit adultery”. At the end of his sentence, he will be deported from China, the ruling also said.
 
Chinese-Canadian, Kris Wu is an ex-member of the Chinese-South Korean group EXO. He had left the group in 2014 to embark on a solo career as an actor, singer and model. Last year, he was accused by a 19-year-old Chinese student of raping her during a date when she was 17.
 
Following the outcry, brands such as Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, L’Oreal and Porsche, of which he was an ambassador, suspended their partnership with the singer. Subsequently, other victims had testified online to accuse Mr. Wu’s team of predatory behavior, including inviting them to drunken karaoke parties.
 
These accusations sparked the beginning of the #Metoo movement in China, but it has since stagnated. Fearing an uncontrolled mass movement, the censors controlling the internet had quickly blocked on social networks the hashtags and keywords relating to cases of sexual harassment.

Alexei Navalny’s body, which his relatives had been demanding for over a week, has been handed over to his mother, the Russian opposition leader’s spokeswoman said on Saturday.
  
In recent days, Alexeï Navalny’s team has regularly complained about not having access to the body of the deceased Russian opponent. His relatives had complained that investigators would spend at least 14 days carrying out an “expertise” on his remains before handing them over.
 
Navalny’s relatives accuse the Kremlin of killing him and trying to cover up his tracks. According to Navalny’s mother, Russia is trying to decompose the body so that it can no longer be examined. Last week, Alexei Navalny’s mother and lawyers were not allowed to enter the morgue.
 
Eight days after his death, Navalny’s body was returned to his mother. The Russian opponent’s spokeswoman, Kira Iarmich, said on X (ex-Twitter) that she did not yet know whether “the authorities will prevent (the funeral) from taking place as the family wishes and as Alexei deserves ».
 
Alexei Navalny was the most prominent opposition figure in Russia, where he gained widespread popularity, particularly among the younger generation, thanks to his in-depth investigations into corruption under Vladimir Putin’s regime
