2000年8月24日至27日,安徽省阜阳市中级人民法院,备受海内外关注的阜阳市政协副主席张西德状告《中国农民调查》作者名誉侵权案在此间举行。而今,时间已经过去两月有余,但是,一审判决仍未做出。有分析人士认为,对于诉讼较量双方的当事人以及处在案件焦点的阜阳市中级人民法院,这段时间都是一个“难熬的过程”。 From August 24 to August 27, 2000, Intermediate People’s Court of Fuyang City, Anhui Province, Zhang Xiide, vice chairman of the CPPCC of Fanyang Municipality, which was paid attention to at home and abroad, sued for the infringement of the author’s name on the “Investigation of Chinese Farmers” held here. Now, more than two months have passed, but the verdict of the first instance has still not been made. Some analysts believe that the parties to both parties to the litigation contest and the Fuyang Intermediate People’s Court, which is in the spotlight of the case, are all “hard steps” during this period.
