political persecution, oppression in (of) Taiwan

njustsecurity.org, Focus Taiwan, Taipei Times, etc, 2022-5-13: an international human rights experts panel conducted a five-day review from May 9-13 in Taipei of the country's implementation of two United Nations' human rights-related covenants, namely the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
The international human rights panel's report (2022) highlighted the absence of legislation to curb torture and discrimination in Taiwan. “The information provided by the government clearly shows that there are many allegations of torture against law enforcement officials in Taiwan,” the report said those cases only led to disciplinary action instead of criminal prosecution. The nation has yet to make incorporate torture — the crime of inflicting severe mental or physical pain or suffering on a powerless person for a particular purpose as defined in international law — into its Criminal Code; The Concluding Observations and Recommendations of the international review committee underlined the importance of Taiwan completing its process of incorporating key norms into its domestic law, by adding the three conventions – the Convention Against Torture, the Convention on Enforced Disappearances, etc. The committee also reiterated the need to expicitly prohibit torture in Taiwan’s criminal code.

nSome years ago, another international review panel ( Philip Alston, law professor at New York University; Eibe Riedel, former member of the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; Jerome Cohen, law professor at New York University; and Nisuke Ando, professor emeritus at Kyoto University, etc. ) conclusively advised Taiwan legislating a new law against torture and other cruelties.
Taiwan just turn a deaf ear to them.

★ White terror returns ... Here's a top-ranking news, Global Times (globaltimes.cn/content/1209528.shtml), 12-9-2020: Taiwan authority ‘persecutes mainlanders, pro-reunification activists' by 'Political persecution, framing charge' ; However, these cases occur many years later than my case.

★ Transitional Justice in Taiwan: A Belated Reckoning with the systematic mistreat

After Taiwanese president declared in the presidential campaign 2016 (storm.mg/article/1904433?page=1) and the National Day Declaration in 2021 that her main political opinions on human rights persecution, the whole transitional justice project has been just spinning its wheels ─ Till now, the Transitional Justice committee just surfaced some dusty files ─ those files are only part of "surveillance" cases, on which many victimizers'(perpetrators') names are erased or covered.
Taiwan's government did the right thing in half way and in reverse order, avoiding the most important ones ─ "Persecution" cases.

the correct priority should be:
(1) Firstly, recent years' major persecutions (2) Secondly, major persecutions in early years (3) Third, other minor cases

Today's serious persecutions cause immediate harms, the longer it lasts, the heavier the harm ̥ The gov. should face human rights issue. The gov.'s “turning a blind eye” is a criminal offense in itself. Nowadays' prime suspects are timid to turn themselves to the court, the government is timid to arrest them. Taiwan's president is suspected not to realize her commitments declared in presidential election campaign.

While working on mass atrocities during Chiang Kai-shek's (蔣介石) regime long years ago, transitional justice might becomes a hard work to get no hard proofs.

Among all persecutions in recent years, Taiwan should prioritize cracking down the cases : (1) mobilizing or inciting as many as nationals to persecute the victims (2) highest-level officials are engaged (3) recidivists (criminal repeat offenses) (4) all or most suspects are still alive (5) high-tech weapons employed

The case in this website crosses 4+ successive presidents since about 1991 in Taiwan, and ranked No.1 on the net in the US (Bing, Google, Yahoo), Russia (Yandex), China (Baidu), on Japan's and Taiwan's Yahoo , and European internet engines (Germany Ecosia, Swisscows, etc).

Solving the case could scare other evil politicians, and avoid same mistakes occurred in the next 50 ~ 100 years; This is a good case for international study.

ps: USA Country Reports on Human Rights practices, released in 2014 : the impartiality of judges and prosecutors involved in high-profile and politically sensitive cases had been questioned. My bad experiences in the court, police station, and prosecutor's court may be supporting proofs for my being political persecuted. Furthermore, One of my lawyers (one of biggest in this country) or/and his partner lawyer spoke probable 'no good' phrase(s) in my case's debate, the possibility can't be totally ruled out that it's because a police official 'talked' to him in the courthouse ...

★ breaking news : A lot of high-tech cyber attacks on my CourageWorld.ch at May 25, 2021, including web-pages criticizing Taiwan judiciary, prosecutors, police, diplomacy, military, restaurants, and intro to Taiwan, etc. Who has the motivation to attack ? attacks continue till present...

China is a politically-oriented country, China's system probably is often more based on politics. Therefore, I am not too sure if they have involved in the mix, more or less.
