Taiwan prosecutors file appeal against release ex-President Chen Shui-bian

Prosecutors filed an appeal Tuesday against the Taipei District Court’s decision to release ex-President Chen Shui-bian without bail after his indictments on corruption and money-laundering. The prosecutors of the Special Investigation Division motivated their appeal by saying Chen was suspected of serious crimes, while there was also a risk that he would collude with other suspects and destroy evidence.
“All prosecutors think there is a need for ex-President Chen Shui-bian to stay in custody,” Prosecutor General Chen Tsung-ming told reporters Tuesday.

The former president’s office denied he had criticized former Interior Minister Yu Cheng-hsien for reportedly admitting to everything after only two days of prison. Yu spent 43 days in custody. He reportedly leaked a name list of experts to a businessman involved in a bid for a construction project. Former First Lady Wu Shu-jen allegedly accepted money from the businessman in return.
In a rare move for a DPP lawmaker, Chiu Yi-ying leaped to Yu’s defense and publicly criticized the former president and his relatives Tuesday.
“Chen and especially his wife should face the judiciary, stop telling lies and stop playing with the feelings of their Democratic Progressive Party supporters,” she told reporters.
In a move directed against Chen, lawmakers from the ruling Kuomintang said they had reached an agreement to demand former presidents lose their benefits if found guilty of corruption in first instance by a district court.

Which is exactly what abian is doing, lying lying and still lying to rowdy up the DPP base and make a big ruckus so as to gain special accommodations, as is in this case.

After being held without charge for five weeks, the prosecutors can't accept that a judge has said TWO TIMES that there is no legal basis for his continued detention. Why can't you and the anti-freedom KMT thugs accept this? This human rights were violated for weeks, being in detention for five weeks without charge. This is something that is not permitted in most advanced Western Democracies.

Furthermore, KMT icon Chiu Yi even goes and files impeachment charges because he and others in the KMT disagree with the judges decision. One more step down that slippery slope of Blue Terror.

KMT doesn't like the decision of the judge, so they are now saying he should be replaced.

The arrogance of the KMT knows no bounds.

Strange how the KMT-apologist-in-chief has suddenly gone silent.

I have to agree with ludahai.
