Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers yesterday criticized a government-sponsored study of the 228 Massacre in 1947 that blamed the Presbyterian Church for the riot, whitewashing the responsibility of Chiang Kai-shek’s (蔣介石) regime.

The study conducted by Chu Hung-yuan (朱浤源), a research fellow at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Modern History, received a grant of NT$500,000 from the government-affiliated Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, part of the organization’s regular sponsorships of academic studies.

A former Yilan County official yesterday asked prosecutors to investigate three Control Yuan members who allegedly covered up for officials involved in the Yuanta I Pin Building (一品苑) case.

Lin Chin-kun (林錦坤), a former Yilan County Yuanshan Village (員山) representative, mailed a request to the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office Special Investigation Panel (SIP) requesting an investigation into whether Control Yuan members Ma Yi-kung (馬以工), Chen Yung-hsiang (陳永祥) and Lin Chu-liang (林鉅鋃) handled the case inappropriately.
