    Policeman sentenced

    A COURT in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province gave a one-year sentence to a policeman Friday for dereliction of duty after he wrongfully detained a woman in 2013.

    Liu Li, a resident of Central China’s Hunan Province, was wrongfully detained for 12 days in Qinghai in November 2013, after Zhang Junzhi, a police officer stationed in Xining, the capital of Qinghai, mistook her for a burglar. Zhang failed to report his mistake even after discovering information that might have proven the woman’s innocence.
