BEIJING: In yet another instance of growing protests by people to assert their civic rights in China, a judge in Wuhan province staged a protest in front the court seeking justice for his wife, who he claims was “illegally laid off” by her employer.
Police at the Hubei Higher Peoples Court in China was caught unawares on Monday when Judge Feng with red judge badge tagged on to his uniform stood in front of the court with a handbill in Chinese stating “grievance”.
The move was the latest in his two-year unsuccessful attempts to help his “illegally laid-off” wife return to her job. He asked the Court to accept his lawsuit.
However, he was soon shoved by three court police officers who turned him away. “Just go. You can’t be here,” they told him.
His wife Hu Min was who had put in nine and half years service was sacked on the ground that she fell short by 10 years stipulated period to sign a contract for permanent employment. Thirty people lost job besides Min, Feng said.
“My wife deserves an open-ended contract with the court according to the law. Government and judicial power should never overweigh laws,” he said. |
