The Taiwan Civil Rights Litigation Organization has joined the Formosan Association for Public Affairs in calling for United Sates intervention in behalf of Chen Shui-bian. Chen, the imprisoned former President of the Republic of China in-exile, was recently hospitalized for a serious heart condition.
The Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) has appealed to the White House to help ensure former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) receives the medical care he needs.
In a letter to US President Barack Obama, FAPA president Mark Kao (高龍榮) said that Chen desperately needed medical parole to receive hospital treatment.
