Artist Gao Shen 1, also referred to as Gao Zhen in some reports 2, the creator of a satirical sculpture depicting Mao Zedong kneeling in repentance, has been sentenced to three years in prison for the crime of "infringing on the reputation of heroes and martyrs" 12. A court in Sanhe, Hebei Province, handed down the sentence on June 25, 2025 1. His prison term is estimated to conclude on August 25, 2027 1. The charges are linked to satirical artworks created in 2005 and 2009, which include a 2009 bronze statue titled "Mao's Sins" and the "Miss Mao" comic series 2.
The artist was detained by police in Beijing in August 2024 while visiting China with his family 12. He had originally planned to fly back to New York on September 3 of that year 1. Since his detention, his wife, Zhao Yaliang, and their seven-year-old son, who is a U.S. citizen, have been prohibited from leaving China 12. A closed-door trial for the case began in late March 2025 1. The artist has refused to plead guilty and has decided to file an appeal 1.
During his detention, the artist, who suffers from lumbar spine disease and knee joint effusion, has fainted on multiple occasions 1. Furthermore, his communication with his family has been strictly restricted since May 2025 1. The legal basis for the charges involves the crime of "infringing on the reputation of heroes and martyrs," which was incorporated into the Criminal Law and took effect in 2021 1, alongside the Heroes and Martyrs Protection Law, which was enacted in 2018 and strengthened in 2021 2. The case has attracted the attention of United Nations human rights agencies and international human rights organizations, with the latter calling for his immediate and unconditional release 12.
