名为依法治网，实为报复构陷。即以诽谤罪逮捕刘虎，当有受害者出场并澄清事实，但至始至终，却不见刘虎案的受害者出面，怪不得律师发问，刘虎案的受害人在哪里？而民众也质疑，举报官员贪腐不成反倒构成诽谤罪，莫非，官员举报不成，民间反腐不成？(It’s called governing the Internet in accordance with the law; in fact, it is framing for retaliation. Since Hu Liu was arrested on defamation charges, a victim should come forward to clarify facts. But from the beginning, no victim has appeared. No wonder his lawyer has questioned: where is the victim of Liu Hu’s case? People have also questioned how one can report a corrupt official without being charged with defamation? …)
