The eye-catching bulletin board stands at the entrance to the underground
supermarket at Luxiang Square in downtown Wuchang, the Chutian Metropolis Daily
reported yesterday.
In the pictures, the wanted men hold a sign saying "thief" or "stealing," the
report said.
Their eyes are covered by a black bar, but their identities could be
determined.
A notice says the alleged thieves are not welcome in the Luxiang Square.
A teacher from the local Central China University of Science and Technology
said thieves deserved punishment but said the practice of posting photos made
customers uncomfortable.
The board was set up last Friday by the square's security department. A
security manager told the newspaper that the aim is to warn thieves and make the
public cautious.
Some lawyers said the billboards shouldn't label the men thieves, as they
have not been convicted.
