taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je refused to be interrogated at night on august 31 and tried to leave the investigation court. he was arrested by the prosecutor in court. after the interrogation in the evening, the prosecutor applied to the court for detention and no visitors. the people's party questioned the "legality" of the arrest procedure; kmt legislator wu zongxian bluntly said that ko wen-je's move was not smart, forcing the prosecutor to arrest him in court, and he might not have a chance to post bail.

the people's party also continued to spar with the prosecutors over the icac's search of the people's party's central party headquarters. people's party legislator huang kuo-chang showed the surveillance camera footage of the party headquarters, saying that there was no interference when the icac went to the central party headquarters, but the footage showed that it was a public office space of the party headquarters, so why did the taipei prosecutors claim that it was limited to ko wen-je's personal office?

people's party spokesperson wu yixuan said that after the people's party showed the surveillance footage, the northern district prosecutors office immediately changed its tone and said that they "verified and confirmed whether there is an office and cabinets used by ko in the party headquarters at that location." the inconsistent statements and the party's inconsistency in its stance have seriously damaged the credibility of the judiciary.

the people's party emergency response team stated that ko wen-je told the prosecutors that he refused to be interrogated at night, but the prosecutors insisted on continuing, and they arrested ko wen-je in court to restrict his personal freedom. the court should carefully review the legality of this arrest procedure and give ko wen-je justice, and emphasized that they fully support ko wen-je in defending his rights under the legal procedure.

wu zongxian, who once served as a prosecutor, said that in general judicial practice, the parties can claim that they have fatigue problems, but according to media reports, the prosecutor once expressed to ko wen-je that he could rest, but ko wen-je refused, so this does not constitute the elements of fatigue interrogation.

wu zongxian believes that it is not wise to insist on going home during interrogation, as this will force the prosecutor to arrest him in court; if he is not arrested in court, there may still be a chance to be granted the option of bail and going home.
