Woman forced to wear 'I am thief' banner

Security guards of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Dongguan, Guangdong, may face trial after they forced a woman to stand in front of the hospital gate wearing a banner that read, "I'm a thief", for more than an hour on Wednesday.

The guards had caught the woman stealing from the hospital, and made her stand in front of the hospital with the banner around her neck till police arrived.
