The girl was detained in the school from the afternoon until the next morning. During her detention, the girl was monitored with a surveillance camera.
The court ruled that the action of those responsible is against the child protection law.
One of the accused was handed a 40-day fine and the other a 20-day fine.
Another person responsible for the school detention guidelines was given a 20-day fine for negligent breach of duty.
The incident took place in 2011.
