One of the first lines in Firstpost’s article is:

Zhan, who was convicted and sentenced in December 2020, will be released on Monday, according to The Guardian.

The article from says she’ll be released on May 13, and quotes HRW and Amnesty Int. directors. It was released about an hour and a half before Firstpost’s article, and the latter plagiarizes the misleading summary of her charge from them:

The Guardian:

Zhang was arrested in May 2020 and later sentenced to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, a charge often used against activists.

Firstpost:

In December 2020, Zhan was sentenced to four years in jail for the offence of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”. Activists in China are often convicted under this offence.
