Koo decries prosecutors’ powers

Thursday, 02 July 2009 08:09 Taipei Times

Chairman of the Taiwan Bar Association Wellington Koo accused prosecutors yesterday of abusing their authority by barring people under investigation from leaving the country.

At a press conference, Koo said prosecutors usually impose a ban on a litigant as it makes it more convenient to probe legal cases if the individuals concerned stay within the country.

Newsflash

In a small yet solemn ceremony, long-time residents from the US observed Memorial Day yesterday by paying tribute to veterans and prisoners of war (POW) incarcerated at the old Taipei Prison during World War II.

The ceremony was held at the remains of the old Taipei Prison wall near Jinshan S Rd, Sec 2, next to a Chunghwa Telecom branch office.

Fourteen US airmen were imprisoned in the facility built during the Japanese colonial era and sentenced to death. The executions took place in the prison courtyard less than two months before the war ended.
