Prison officials are preventing a magazine column written by former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) from going to print, his son, Chen Chih-chung (陳致中), said yesterday.

Greater Kaohsiung Councilor Chen Chih-chung said after visiting his father in Taipei Prison yesterday that prison officials had requested the column be revised a second time, after Chen Shui-bian complied with an earlier request.

As a result, it is unlikely that the article, for which the former president is understood to have been paid close to NT$20,000, will make it into tomorrow’s edition of Next Magazine, he said.
