Sources revealed that in the boring prison life, the inmates always wanted to have some fun, and Russell Brand became the target, so hundreds of prisoners came together to provoke. Russell Brand only leaves the cell during meal time to get food, and his whereabouts are as low-key as a shadow; however, sources believe that entertainers are just fat sheep for prisoners. Now they are just verbal abuse. Later, they may be visited by the prison boss and have to use money to buy peace.

The report further stated that Russell Brand was imprisoned in the notorious "child sexual abuse offender area". The environment was harsh, with serious rat infestation, and only a small metal basin and toilet, which was described as "very inhumane." Netizens clapped their hands and applauded, saying: "Compared to the pain suffered by the victimized women, these are nothing at all. The retribution is finally here!"

Where does the QR code in the express delivery from unknown origin lead to after scanning?

An investigation by a China Youth Daily reporter found that couriers from unknown sources use free gifts to induce recipients to scan codes, which may hide health product marketing, personal information collection and fraud risks. The reporter personally scanned the QR code and was drawn into the health care group. The course promoted "Aerospace Bone Power Multi-dimensional Calcium Tablets" and the mini program also involved privacy authorization. The lawyer reminded the elderly not to believe in "good things" like pie in the sky, and not to scan codes and click on links for unfamiliar express delivery.
