Most recent page update:
Wei Tingting’s lawyer Wang Quishi reports that the five women are facing the charge of “gathering crowds to disrupt order in public places.”
今天前往检察院准备控告，但经查询告知韦婷婷已报捕，与承办检察官当面沟通了意见，主要向她介绍了占领男厕所、染血的新娘以及公交反性骚扰活动的意义，希望顶住压力不予批捕，结束时我问昨天查没报捕，怎么今天就被告知是6号报的呢，答可能系统昨天没有录入。现罪名变更为聚众扰乱公共场所秩序罪。
