Taiwan Political Prisoner Report, Jan.11, 2013. Legislator Chen Tan-sun, or Mark Chen as he is known in the United States, arranged for the special visit with Chen Shui-bian in his hospital cell. Mark Chen, no relation to the imprisoned former president, agreed to be interviewed to discuss the prosecuton of Chen Shui-bian.
“I don’t believe President Chen had a fair trial," said Legislator Chen. "He is a victim of political persecution. Chen Shu-bian is not the only one being persecuted. A bunch of people have been indicted, some of them being incarcerated, and in the end they were innocent. This is why most people here in Taiwan don’t believe our judicial system has justice.”
