An employee at a hydroelectric station in Baoji in northwest China's Shaanxi province has found the body of a 17-year-old girl in the reservoir, but he has not retrieved it until her family paid him 1,500 yuan, roughly 230 U.S. Dollars.
It has been confirmed that the employee has quit his job because of "media pressure", and the head of the station has been suspended from work.
The Beijing Times newspaper has condemned what it called mistreatment of the dead and urged the local authorities to investigate the incident.
The report says unlike those who are willing to retrieve a body from a river only if they are paid, the former hydroelectric station worker deserves no extra reward. Instead, he should be held criminally responsible because his job was to clean the reservoir and prevent the water from being polluted. Meanwhile, retrieving a body from a reservoir is much easier than from a river.
The former employee, whose name was not disclosed by the newspaper, left the teenager's body in the water for days until he was paid.

Six people were given prison terms of up to 16 months for illegally refining silver from waste photographic film in east China's Zhejiang Province.
A local court says one of the convicted, sir-named Zhang, rented a warehouse in Longquan City in 2014 and bought machines used to recover silver from waste film. He sourced the waste film from hospitals and printing firms.
Zhang then hired Wu, who had experience of the extraction process. The processing plant began operation in Feburary, despite it lacking official permission or professional waste treatment equipment.
The other suspects, with full knowledge that the factory was illegal, sourced and sent waste film to the plant for silver extraction.
The factory processed 25 tonnes of waste film before it was shut down in 2015 by the environmental protection department. Local police seized around 15 tonnes of waste film from the site.
The environmental protection bureau said waste film, which is on the hazardous waste list, can cause pollution if not treated properly.
Zhang and his complice were found guilty of environmental pollution. Their prison terms ranged from five months to 16 months, and were fined 10,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan, roughly 1,600 to almost 10,000 U.S. Dollars.

中国西北部陕西省宝鸡市某水电站一名工作人员在水库发现了一名17岁女孩的遗体，但是在女孩家属支付了1500元（约230美元）以后这名工作人员才将遗体打捞上岸。
经确认，目前这名工作人员已经因“媒体压力”而辞职，该水电站站长也被停职。
《京华时报》谴责称这种行为是虐待死者，要求当地有关部门调查这一事件。
该报道指出，与只有付钱才愿意打捞尸体的行为不同，这名水电站前工作人员不应该获得额外的报酬。相反他应该被追究刑事责任，因为他的职责是清理水库，防止水源污染。同时，从水库打捞尸体要比从河里打捞尸体容易得多。
新闻报道中并没有公开这名前工作人员的名字，他在拿到家属支付的钱之前让女孩的遗体在水里漂了数天。

中国东部浙江省6人因非法从废胶片中提炼白银被判处最高16个月刑期。
当地法院表示，其中一名被告张某某2014年在龙泉租了一间厂房，并购置了从废胶片中提炼白银的机器。然后从医院和印刷厂购买废胶片。
之后，张某某聘用了有提取经验的吴某某。在未取得正式许可证且无专业污水处理设备的情况下，加工厂在2月开厂营业。
另一名嫌疑人明知加工厂是非法经营，但还是参与购买材料并将废胶片运往工厂以提炼白银。
这家工厂在2015年被环保部门查封前已加工了25吨废胶片。当地警方在工厂内查获了约15吨废胶片。
环保部门表示，废胶片属于危险废物，不妥善处置会导致污染。
张某某及其同伙被判环境污染罪。几人被判有期徒刑16个月至5个月不等刑期，并处罚金六万元（约1万美元）至一万元（约1600美元）不等。
