Judge Dismissed For Handcuffing Lawyer To Hoop

From Shanghai Daily:

A judge who handcuffed a lawyer to a basketball hoop under the scorching sun for 40 minutes was removed from the bench yesterday in a county in southwestern Yunnan Province.

The top lawmaker, the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress, made the decision against Hong Meng, a judge in Chengjiang County People’s Court.

The incident occurred when the lawyer, surnamed He, was representing a defendant in a land dispute case last Friday, according to an investigative report issued by the higher Yuxi Intermediate Court.
