A judicial reform group yesterday called for the drafting of a judges’ law to root out unqualified judges.

Directed at the judiciary and legislature, this call comes in the wake of a number of incidents in recent weeks in which Taiwan High Court judges have been found to have consorted with prostitutes and met mistresses during office hours as well as being accused of involvement in collective bribery.

Shouting matches and minor clashes erupted at the National Palace Museum yesterday after officials turned down a request by Tibetans and activists to present a photo of the Dalai Lama to “fill the missing part” of an exhibition on Tibetan Buddhist art.

“The Dalai Lama is the highest spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism. How could a portrait of the Dalai Lama be missing at an exhibition about Tibetan Buddhism?” asked Regional Tibetan Youth Congress-Taiwan (RTYC-Taiwan) chairman Tashi Tsering, wearing a traditional Tibetan outfit and holding up a large portrait of the Dalai Lama.
