Stitched Anus Case

(Shenzhen City, China) In July 2010, a local woman, Lin, accused a nurse midwife, Ms. Zhang, of sewing up her anus after childbirth as retaliation for not receiving a sufficient tip in the customary "red packet." The Luohu Court in Shenzhen heard testimony with photographic evidence.

Ms. Zhang contended that she actually ligated Lin's hemorrhoids and didn't stitch up her anus.
At the news briefing, the journalists were shown a picture of the piles and they asked the experts on site whether it’s ligation or sewing up. The experts demonstrated the difference between ligation and sewing up but could not exactly judge the case only on basis of the photographs.
In August, Lin's husband, Mr. Chen, presented new evidence which he said showed "black thread transfixion" indicating that sewing was indeed done to his wife's anus.
“I have assigned/ employed people of special knowledge to examine and identify the wound of my wife. The identification opinion is that circular hemorrhoids could be seen around the anal opening of Lin, which is at nine o’clock direction. Black thread for transfixion could be seen and no bruise is seen on the around skin.”
This week, the Luowu Court ruled on the stitched anus case.
The Luowu Court believed that this was a case of defamation. According to an investigation by the authoritative Shenzhen department, there is no evidence that Ms. Zhang sewed up this woman's anus.

As such, Mr. Chen must buy a newspaper advertisement to apologize to Ms. Zhang in addition to paying her 30,000 yuan for mental anguish. Mr. Chen says that he will appeal the decision.
Heh.
