DPP files suit over Ma’s Facebook page transfer

Saturday, 13 August 2011 07:46 Taipei Times

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday filed a lawsuit against President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and one of his former top aides, accusing them of corruption for turning the management of Ma’s Facebook page over from the Presidential Office to a private organization without following proper procedures.

“It is ridiculous to turn a -government-funded program into a private asset. President Ma and his re-election campaign office should be held accountable,” DPP spokesman Chuang Ruei-hsiung (莊瑞雄) said outside the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office.

DHARAMSHALA, August, 11: Pakistan deported five ethnic Uyghur immigrants back to China on Tuesday amidst fear that they will face harsh punishment upon return.

The Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported that five “Chinese citizens” who were “blindfolded and handcuffed” were flown off to Urmuqi, the capital of East Turkestan.

"The deportation of Uyghurs are common nowadays, but it is very rare to be exposed to the media," said Omer Khan, founder of the Omer Uyghur Foundation in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
