taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was involved in the capital one scandal and was searched and interrogated by the prosecutors and the integrity commission. party cadres such as tsai bi-ru, huang kuo-chang and huang tsung-ying, as well as more than 300 "little grass" supporters, went to the taipei district prosecutors office to show their support starting from the morning of august 31, shouting slogans such as "believe in innocence, come on ko p." former people's party legislator tsai bi-ru choked up and said that she was worried that the long interrogation would make ko wen-je physically unable to bear it, and he had to maintain his condition in order to face the long judicial process in the future.

at around 10 a.m. on the 31st, "little grass" began to gather in front of the taipei district prosecutors' office. they wore white hats and white t-shirts and held banners to support ke wenzhe. huang tsung-ying, huang kuo-chang, chen zhao-zi, cai bi-ru, and the internet celebrity "director" chen zhihan also arrived in the afternoon. the people's party's tainan supporters also launched a campaign to go north to show support. the tainan city party committee held a women's power promotion event in tainan as usual yesterday and expressed its position to defend the honor of the party chairman.

after learning that ko wen-je was detained by prosecutors on the evening of the 31st, his supporters became outraged and continued to shout slogans such as "as long as ko p doesn't give up, we won't give up" and "green terror! the whole nation is dissatisfied", with more than a hundred people guarding outside the northern district prosecutors office.

tsai bi-ru said that she and ko wen-je have known each other for more than 30 years and she has always believed in his integrity, which will never change. she is also worried that such a long interrogation will affect ko wen-je's condition, and that he must be physically and mentally healthy in order to face future judicial proceedings.

people's party caucus leader huang kuo-chang said that no one would not be tired after a marathon-style interrogation lasting more than 19 hours, but the people's party would not be defeated, as everyone believed in the chairman and gave his full support.

people's party legislator chen zhaozi led the crowd to shout for the release of the detainees. she stressed that the procedure must be just, the judiciary must be fair, and there should be no double standards. did the prosecutors find any money from ko wen-je's home after searching for so long? she said that the people's party is the key political party, and the "ruling" party will do its utmost to hunt him down. this is political persecution.
