A controversial judge who ordered police to handcuff a lawyer to a basketball post for 40 minutes has been sacked.

Hong Meng, a judge at Chengjiang county of Yunnan province, made the unusual order after a disagreement with lawyer He Yunxiang over a change to a court record last Friday. The provincial higher court requested an immediate investigation into the incident.

The Yunnan Higher People's Court yesterday announced that officials of Chengjiang county court had dismissed Hong from his post on Tuesday.
