५०० ईसा पूर्वको, परिस्थितिमा आधारित एक भ्रष्ट न्यायाधीश, सिसाम्नेस, को छाला निकाली रहेको १६ औं सदीको चित्रकला।
पर्शियाका कम्बिसिज २ को समयमा, सिसाम्नेस एक भ्रष्ट शाही न्यायाधीश हुनुभयो
न्यायालयमा अदालतमा घूस लिएर अन्यायपूर्ण निर्णय गर्नु भएको पत्ता लागेको थियो। इस्कार्त्ताको परिणामस्वरूप राजा ले उसलाई भ्रष्टाचारका लागि गिरफ्तार गर्न आदेश दिए। अदालत न्यायाधीश सिसाम्नेसबाट माग गर्नु भयो कि उसले कसलाई आफ्नो प्रतिस्थापनको नामित गर्न चाहान्छन्। सिसाम्नेस, आफ्नो लोभको, आफ्नो छोरालाई, (ओटनेसलाई ) चुने।
राजा सहमत भएर ओटनेसलाई आफ्नो पिताको स्थानमा नियुक्त गर्नुभयो। त्यसपछि न्यायाधीशले निर्णय गर्नु भयो र सिसाम्नेसको छाला निकाल्न आदेश दिइयो। नयाँ न्यायाधीशले न्यायालयमा बस्ने सीटमा उक्त छाला राख्न लगाए। सजायले स्मरण गर्नका लागि उपहोल्स्टर गर्ने गर्नुपर्यो।
ओटनेसले आफ्नो विचारबिचारमा हमेशा याद गर्नुपर्यो कि उहाँ आफ्नो भ्रष्ट पिता सिसाम्नेसको छाला मा बस्नुहुन्छ। यसले सुनिश्चित गर्नेमा मद्दत गर्यो कि सबै न्याय, विचारबिचार र दण्डका क्षेत्रमा न्यायपूर्णता र समानता होस्।
A 16th century painting showing the skinning alive of a corrupt judge, Sisamnes, in the year 500BC.
Sisamnes was a corrupt royal judge at the time of Cambyses ll in Persia.
It was discovered that he took a bribe in court and passed an unfair judgement. As a consequence the king ordered that he be arrested for his corruption and ordered that he be skinned alive. Before passing judgement the king asked Sisamnes who he wished to nominate as his successor. Sisamnes, in his greed, chose his son, Otanes.
The king agreed and appointed Otanes to replace his father. He subsequently passed judgement and ordered that Sisamnes removed skin should be used to upholster the seat on which the new judge would sit in court to remind him of the potential consequences of corruption.
Otanes, in his deliberations, was forced to always remember that he was always sitting on the skin of his executed father. This helped to ensure fairness and equity in all his hearings, deliberations and sentences.
