Outcry in China after men leak non-consensual intimate photos, videos of partners on Telegram
BEIJING: Thousands of men allegedly shared intimate photos and videos of their girlfriends without consent on the Telegram messaging app, Chinese media reported, sparking widespread outcry against secret filming and calls to better protect women. Pornography in China is illegal, and conservative social attitudes towards women remain the norm, often reinforced by state media and popular culture. It comes after a Chinese university expelled a woman this month for "damaging national dignity" over videos posted by a Ukrainian esports player on Telegram suggesting they had been intimate. The Chinese state-owned Southern Daily reported this week that a woman discovered photos of her taken unknowingly had been shared in a Telegram forum with over 100,000 users, mostly Chinese men. Members of the forum also shared photos of their girlfriends, ex-girlfriends and wives, according to a commentary in the Guangming Daily, an outlet backed by China's ruling communist party. Revelations of the group have sparked widespread outcry online. "We are not... 'content' that can be randomly uploaded, viewed and fantasised about... We can no longer remain silent. Because next could be me, or it could be you," read one comment on Instagram-like Red Note. A related hashtag has been viewed more than 230 million times on social media platform Weibo since Thursday. The largest group, called "Mask Park", has since been taken down, but smaller spinoffs remain active, according to women contacted by Southern Daily. Telegram encrypts its users' messages and is banned in China, but it is accessible using a virtual private network. "The sharing of nonconsensual pornography is explicitly forbidden by Telegram's terms of service and is removed whenever discovered," Telegram said in a statement sent to AFP. "Moderators proactively monitor public parts of the platform and accept reports in order to remove millions of pieces of harmful content each day, including nonconsensual pornography." 'Nightmares for life' The incident has drawn comparisons to a case in South Korea dubbed "Nth Room", in which a man blackmailed dozens of women into taking sexually explicit videos and sold them on Telegram. Online, Chinese women have detailed their own experiences of being filmed and photographed by men in public. "What criminals consider 'regular' for them may be nightmares that countless women can't escape for the rest of their lives," one woman said, sharing an encounter on Douyin. Chinese police have cracked down on illegal filming, arresting hundreds of people in 2022 over clandestine surveillance. But women's rights are sensitive territory in China -- over the last decade, authorities have suppressed almost every form of independent feminist activism. #MeToo activist Sophia Huang Xueqin was sentenced to five years in prison on charges of "inciting subversion of state power" after she became a symbol of the country's stalled feminist movement. Chinese authorities have yet to publicly announce any action against the Telegram group. But the Guangming Daily commentary urged "accountability" for the organisers of the Telegram group, and empathy for the people filmed. Improving law enforcement would "enhance the overall sense of security, free women from the fear of being spied on and make privacy boundaries a truly untouchable red line", it said.

Caste, feudal mindset persists in MP judiciary: HC on treatment of judge
In a strongly-worded order, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has deplored the "caste system" and the "feudal mindset" reflected in the judicial structure in the state where those in the high court are considered as "savarn" or privileged ones, while the district judges as "shudras" and "les misrables". It also likened the relationship between the judges of the high court and those of the district courts to that of "feudal lord and serf", adding that a sense of fear and inferiority is consciously instilled by one on the subconscious of the other. A division bench of the MP High Court comprising Justices Atul Sreedharan and D K Paliwali made these scathing remarks in its order passed on July 14 while setting aside the dismissal of a special court judge. Instances of the judges of the district judiciary personally attending to judges of the high court are commonplace as also the latter not offering a seat to the former, thereby "perpetuating a colonial decadence with a sense of entitlement", it said. "At a subliminal level, the penumbra of the caste system manifests in the judicial structure in this state where those in the High Court are the savarn and the shudras are the les Misrables of the District Judiciary," it said. "The dismal relationship between the judges of the High Court and the judges of the District Judiciary is one between a feudal lord and serf. The feudal state of mind that still exists in the State, results in its manifestation in the judiciary also," the bench said. The fear of the district judiciary is understandable, the court said. "The relationship between District Judiciary and the High Court in the State is not based on mutual respect for each other but one where a sense of fear and inferiority is consciously instilled by one on the subconscious of the other," it said. The court said this while allowing a petition filed by Jagat Mohan Chaturvedi challenging the order of August 1, 2016 that dismissed his appeal against his termination from services as a judge of a special court (SC/ST) on October 19, 2015. As per the procedure, the call to dismiss is taken by the full court of the high court chaired by the Chief Justice. But the proposal to remove him was sent to the state government for action. The division bench quashed the order terminating the services of the petitioner and imposed a cost of Rs 5 lakh on the state government through the principal secretary Law and Legislative Department and the MP High Court Registrar General, saying that Chaturvedi had to face humiliation in society, without an iota of material coming on record to establish corruption against him. It said, "The instant case reveals a malady that cannot be addressed effectively on account of the social structure existing in the State." "It is precisely cases like this that result in a large number of bail applications pending before the High Court as also the Criminal Appeals. Experience at Bar gives this Court the wisdom to arrive at the opinion that the District Judiciary functions under the perpetual fear of the High Court," the HC said. Like this case, where the petitioner was terminated from service on account of passing bail orders in favour of the applicants, the message that goes down to the district judiciary by such acts of the high court is that acquittals recorded in major cases or bails granted by the courts below the high court, can result in adverse action against judges passing such orders, though they are judicial orders, it said. "The body language of the Judges of the District Judiciary when they greet a Judge of the High Court stops short of grovelling before the High Court Judge, making the Judges of the District Judiciary the only identifiable species of invertebrate mammals," it said. There are instances of the judges of the district judiciary personally attending to judges of the high court (as desired by them) on railway platforms and waiting on them with refreshments, are commonplace, thus perpetuating a colonial decadence with a sense of entitlement, the court added. "Judges of the District Judiciary on deputation to the registry of the High Court are almost never offered a seat by the Judges of the High Court and on a rare occasion when they are, they are hesitant to sit down before the High Court Judge," the court said. The subjugation and enslavement of the psyche of the judges of the district judiciary is complete and irreversible, so it seems. All this in the name of saving their job, for which the petitioner in this case suffered, for thinking and doing differently, the court order said. "They have families, children who go to school, parents undergoing treatment, a home to be built, savings to be accumulated, and when the High Court terminates his service abruptly on account of a judicial order passed him, he and his entire family is out on the streets with no pension and the stigma of facing a society that suspects his integrity," the court said. On account of "gross injustice" suffered by him, the HC restored his pensionary benefits and also directed that he be given back wages from the date on which he was terminated till the date he would have otherwise superannuated with seven per cent interest. The same shall be complied within a period of 90 days from the date on which this order is uploaded on the web site of the High Court Registrar General, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to file a contempt petition against the respondents, it said.
