CHENGDU: Long Jin from the earthquake-hit province of Sichuan will not have to pay a fine which he received with a jail sentence for robbery.

Judges from the Shanghai Pudong New Area Court traveled 318 km to Baimaoling Juntianhu prisons in Xuancheng, Anhui province, to tell Long, and three others, also convicted of robbery, that their fines had been canceled.

It was the country's first such case, the Beijing-based Legal Daily said.
