taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was involved in the jinghua city scandal and was detained and denied access to visitors by the taipei district prosecutors office (hereinafter referred to as "ntp") for the crime of accepting bribes and seeking benefits in violation of his duties. the taipei district court judge believed that ko's criminal suspicion was not serious in the early morning of the 2nd and released him without bail. it is reported that the prosecutors will appeal. the latest news came out that ko wen-je left the ntp in the early morning amid the cheers of his supporters and left with his wife chen pei-chi and legislator huang shanshan.

the taipei district court announced at around 3 a.m. today that it had ruled that ko wen-je should be released without bail. ko later appeared in a speech for about 2 minutes, in which he mentioned that "after the search, they seized my cell phone and hard drive, and then used the information inside to make up a story. it can be said that they were extremely oppressive and tortured during the past two days." "in fact, the one who really had a hard time this time was the judge, and he withstood the final pressure."

it is reported that when ko wen-je left the taipei district prosecutors office at around 3:45 am, he first spoke to his supporters for about 2 minutes, and then did not return to his home on xinyi road in taipei city, but went to huang shanshan's residence in xizhi district, new taipei city.

the people's party also issued a statement expressing its gratitude to all the friends who had been waiting at the scene for three days, starting from the early morning of august 30 when the integrity commission raided the home, office, and central party headquarters of the chairman of taiwan's main opposition party. they seized ko wen-je's cell phone and hard drive, and then used the information they found to fabricate charges.

the people's party said that although some media and online wings have been constantly cooperating with those in power to crack down on dissidents, the extent to which they have resorted to all means is far beyond our imagination and tolerance; although the several days of interrogation have allowed the people to witness nakedly how judicial and media violence has been trampled on principles everywhere, widening the gaps and rifts in taiwanese society, and making the non-disclosure of the investigation a laughing stock.
