taiwan people's party supporter ko wen-je was detained and denied access by the northern district prosecutors office. his southern supporters chartered a car to the north overnight to "rescue" him, putting pressure on the northern district prosecutors office and shouting "release the chairman". tainan city party committee chairman lin naili believes that ko wen-je's accusation of taking bribes has no basis, and the claim of profiteering is even more puzzling. he criticized the northern district prosecutors office for fabricating charges that affect judicial independence and fairness. former tainan city party committee chairman cai wan-qin believes that it is inappropriate for ko's wife chen pei-chi to come forward as a witness to read the statement, and feels that the central party committee's handling of the matter has been chaotic.

lin naili said that when ko wen-je was mayor of taipei, he had always been open and transparent about the jinghuacheng case, but he was accused of profiteering by the taipei prosecutors, which made his supporters incomprehensible. the prosecutors' accusation that the chairman accepted bribes was "completely without any relevant basis." as soon as the news came out, another media outlet exclusively reported that ko had unknown funds. it was obvious that the prosecutors privately spread the word that "they maliciously led the public opinion and made a judgment before the trial. their intentions are questionable." this incident made the non-disclosure of the investigation a laughing stock and aroused the anger of the young people.

lin naili believes that ko wen-je has been cooperating with the investigation, but has been framed by the prosecutors. he called on the "court" to uphold the principles of independence and fairness, conduct impartial trials, and not become a pawn of the ruling party! the judiciary should be the last line of defense for social justice.

ko wen-je's sister, ko mei-lan, spoke out on social media earlier today, pointing out that taiwan's judiciary is dead, "ko wen-je is just the first martyr to sacrifice, and there will be thousands of ko wen-jes after him," and that he was thrown into the dpp's black jail in order to fight corruption.

tsai wan-chin said that chen pei-chi is still a witness, and it is inappropriate for her to read the statement, which may cause suspicion of collusion. when the emergency response team responded to ko's unclear source of assets, the information was wrong, proving that the central party headquarters was in a panic. "asking xiaocao to put pressure on the prosecutors makes people feel that they want to guide the case into a political incident."
