Pro-independence radio station chief claims bias

Wednesday, 30 December 2009 08:00 Taipei Times

Operators of pro-independence underground radio station Ocean Wire (海洋之聲) said that political motives were behind Monday’s raid by the National Communications Commission (NCC) of their offices.

The NCC earlier maintained that the shutdown was part of Premier Wu Den-yih’s (吳敦義) call last Friday for a crackdown on underground radio stations that were hawking illegal medicine to listeners.

China executes mentally ill Briton

Wednesday, 30 December 2009 07:57 Taipei Times

A Briton said to have serious mental health problems was executed in China yesterday for drug smuggling despite last-minute pleas for clemency, a move condemned by London, rights groups and his family.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was “appalled and disappointed” by the execution of Akmal Shaikh, a 53-year-old father of three, who supporters say had bipolar disorder. His family expressed their grief and asked for privacy.

Farming activists and environmentalists celebrated after the Taiwan High Administrative Court yesterday ordered the Central Taiwan Science Park to halt all expansion activities pending a ruling on two ongoing lawsuits.

The science park’s two latest expansion projects — one in Taichung County’s Houli Township (后里) and the other in Changhua County’s Erlin Township (二林) — have sparked controversy in recent years as farmers oppose government expropriation of their farmlands to make way for the science park.
