Visiting former US attorney general Ramsey Clark yesterday repeated his call for the immediate release of former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), saying the Taiwanese government would be viewed as Chen’s murderer if his health deteriorated further.

The 84-year-old human rights advocate urged President Ma Ying-jeou’s (馬英九) administration to act immediately on the suggestion of Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) to stop playing “a dangerous game of denying him freedom” and grant Chen a medical parole.
