A Greek court sentenced a cleaning woman to 10 years in prison for "lying" in her autobiography.
A 53-year-old cleaner, who began 15 days ago working in a government-funded nursery, said a human rights review showed she had lied about her primary education.
The woman claimed in her autobiography that she attended a 6-year primary school, which is usually between the ages of six and twelve.
However, the audit found that the worker had attended only 5 years, and had forged the attendance certificate.
Nursery required completion of 6 years in primary school in order to apply for the job.
A local Greek women's court charged "fraud and fraud".
For its part, a Greek human rights organization said the court's decision was "inhuman", adding that it was evidence of the country's poor criminal justice system.
