流浪犬為什麼流浪?

◎ 鄭啟文
台中市兩歲男童被流浪狗圍攻,縫了一百多針,所幸其家人及時營救,否則後果不堪設想。事後其家人並表示將提起國家賠償。
流浪貓狗的問題存在已久,以筆者旅居法國的經驗來說,歐洲各國除了嚴格執行寵物登記制度,在飼養貓狗等寵物前,飼主並需接受若干時數的寵物飼養需知課程,因為飼養一隻狗或是一隻貓的責任絕不是想像中的輕鬆。一般人也不可任意私下繁殖家裡的寵物,寵物有遺失或亡故均須向主管單位申報。
反觀國內的動物保護法,洋洋灑灑四十條的詳細規定,並訂有相關施行細則與罰則等,國內的法律規定與歐盟國家做法相比毫不遜色。但試問農委會官員,市面有多少未經合法登記而私下進行繁殖買賣貓狗寵物者,卻不見主管單位取締?國內有多少未經植入晶片合法登記的「黑狗、黑貓」,政府也視若無睹?今天若請農委會提出歷年來曾祭出幾次罰則?再比照今日社會實際的違反動物保護法氾濫的情形,即可了解國內動物保護法執行的不力。
流浪狗或家犬攻擊人,更嚴重的甚至把人咬死的事件屢屢發生,雖然有人把矛頭指向流浪狗的獵食野性,但最該被指責的是不負責任拋棄寵物狗的飼主,讓法律睡覺的政府主管機關更應為流浪狗襲人事件負起責任。

比貪污更污


◎ 邱炳進
二○○八年十一月四日,受到檢調大陣仗搜索雲林縣政府,在未傳即拘的狀況下,民進黨籍縣長蘇治芬成了雲縣地檢署典型選擇性辦案的「貪污犯」,蘇縣長並被求刑十五年,成為馬英九五月上台後「肅貪」的業績,但法院一、二、三審都判蘇縣長無罪。
雲林縣地檢署與去年高雄地檢署調動三、四百位檢調,揮軍到嘉縣搜索縣長張花冠與陳明文,都是對綠營政治人物,就以萬馬奔騰之姿,直搗縣府、縣長公館翻箱倒櫃,唯恐天下不知。對照檢方偵辦林益世貪瀆案,至今尚未到行政院秘書長辦公室搜索,對林仙保更是體貼入微,只要具有初步犯罪偵查概念者,皆知陳啟祥翻山越嶺到南投送一千萬給吳門忠,一定具有向上發展的「地緣關係」,然檢調就是那麼體貼吳門忠,認為那一千萬元是天下掉下來的禮物!
肅貪是國民普遍的期待,然那麼多的檢察官,尤其是特偵組,彷如餓扁的獅子,見到綠營政治人物便兇性大發、見獵心喜;然對藍營政治人物卻大都視而不見或偵辦如石沉大海。民間普遍認為,檢調辦綠不辦藍、選擇性辦案,這種認知不是檢調自己造成的嗎?台灣的司法公信力這麼低,這些濫刑追訴的檢察官應負最大的責任。
當時偵辦蘇治芬的檢察官李鵬程,前天僅透過發言人表達對此案不表示意見,如此便洗清濫權追訴的責任嗎?對一大串看顏色辦案的檢察官,到了法院卻定罪率那麼低,應考慮刑法一二五條濫權追訴罪,以科予檢察官輕率追訴的責任了

連反壟斷也被壟斷


◎ 洪忠文
原本早上國民黨還答應要支持民進黨提出的「廣電三法」,並承諾要讓法案火速通過,沒想到當天晚上一切就變了調,先是NCC急忙召開記者會,砲轟民進黨的法案太過草率,隨後國民黨團也馬上表示後悔,一夜之間就翻版改為不支持。身為國會過半之最大黨,掌握制定關係人民所有法令的國民黨團,行事作為卻是朝令夕改、毫無誠信,未來國民黨的任何提案,老百姓們還要相信嗎?
追根究柢,幕後一定有一隻強而有力的黑手介入,才會在一夜之間讓說好的一切瞬間翻盤,而這雙黑手是財團嗎?我們不得而知,但一定和做出決定的國民黨及馬總統脫離不了關係。反媒體壟斷已經在社會輿論下討論了很久的一段時間,街頭抗爭、遊行也有好幾次,身為執政黨在這麼長的時間內,卻沒有提出任何對策,連到底要支持或反對民進黨提出的版本也完全沒有任何意見,早上支持、晚上反對,將施政當兒戲,完全不把民意放在心上,難怪國民黨執政快五年,支持率卻屢創新低,百姓苦不堪言。
由此事件更讓人民再一次的看清國民黨與馬總統,除了無能以外更沒有任何誠信可言。讓我們一起火大上街,把你我不滿的心聲,表達給這無能無信的馬政府知道。

立法院幾日來的廣電三法修法,以始料未及的速度通過初審,國民黨卻又臨時急踩剎車。
不可否認,本次修法是針對個案而來,面相不夠宏觀的結果,造成條文中有諸多質疑點,例如媒金分離及回溯條款的部分等,以及業者疾呼可能有阻擋數位匯流的負面效果,確實存在的疑義。
條文雖然略顯粗糙,仍有許多待修正的地方,但我以為,即使修法最後沒有通過,仍是反媒體壟斷跨出的一大步,依然能帶來一定的正面影響,如同NCC主委石世豪表明:此次的版本可併進NCC專法,足可見此次修法並非前功盡棄。
真正讓人感到寒心的,是反媒體壟斷如此重要的議題,竟淪為朝野的一場鬧劇。執政黨的反反覆覆及其兩面手法,足以見得在黨團支持反媒體壟斷與否的背後,存在更多複雜的利益考量──反媒體壟斷不再只是反媒體壟斷,而是變成政治鬥爭的籌碼。

陳昭姿facebook阿扁總統的輕生意念越來越強

雖然有24小時北監設置的監視器,阿扁總統多數時間是獨自一個人在病房的,除了做神經學檢查,精神科治療,以及有限的家屬與訪客探視。

阿扁總統的輕生意念越來越強,我們醫療小組的醫師已經向北榮醫師提出請求,要求護士每15分鐘進去看一次。

Wu-Shu-chen reveals family secret about Chen plans to run against Ma in 2012(馬英九洞悉此事,因此決心關他)

Michael Richardson訪問吳淑珍。吳淑珍是絕不說謊的人。她們的錢都是政治獻金與選舉補助款,阿扁總統覺得八年未能將台灣獨立工作做好,存這些錢是想要在2012年重新競選總統,因為他還年輕。馬英九洞悉此事,因此決心關他......。

Wu-Shu-chen reveals family secret about Chen plans to run against Ma in 2012

Exclusive interview with Wu Shu-chen

Taiwan Political Prisoner Report Jan. 10, 2013. The former First Lady, Wu Shu-chen, sat across the table from me and looked me straight in the eye: “We absolutely did not take any dirty money whatsoever. All we got were legal campaign contributions. It is a typical situation in Taiwan. Many Taiwanese are longing for a country of their own, they know the Republic of China is not their country, it is an exiled regime. They are looking to a particular person who demonstrates their interest and that person would get a lot of support.”
“President Chen did not handle the donations, he never did that. I was the one who handled all the money from political contributions. Under Taiwan’s political contribution law there is not limit. I know in the United States there is a limit of a certain amount but not in Taiwan,”

Former ROC First Lady Wu Shu-chen talks about the unfairness of the trial that convicted her and her husband Chen Shui-bian,
“Chen was a lawyer for twenty years before he got into politics fulltime so he made a lot of money. I’m from a wealthy family. My father was a doctor and I got money from the family,” said Wu. “Even before Chen became President we were already in the practice of buying foreign bonds in the United States. The newspapers seem to indicate that after the election we suddenly had a lot of money so we were hiding it, but that is not the case. We have had money in the United States long before Chen was President.”
Wu and Chen worked as a team, Chen was the candidate while Wu handled the money, keeping Chen away from the donation process: “The campaign donations were a lot and each time a substantial amount was saved. Under Taiwan’s law if you participate in an election and get more than five percent of the vote, then each vote you got will be reimbursed. So in this kind of election, even if you lose you have a substantial amount reimbursed from the government. We accumulated quite a bit of money but it was saved for the coming elections because many people came to us to ask for support.”
Wu told a family secret explaining the accumulation of large sums of money: “President Chen did not do enough for Taiwan in his eight years because of a lack of experience and the Kuomintang old guards were still strong. He couldn’t really do a lot. Chen had been planning on getting into the election for 2012 to fight for Taiwan. So of course we needed a certain amount of money to prepare for the presidential election. Joking aside, Ma jailed a formidable contender,” said Wu.
“Indeed, the KMT is afraid that Chen Shui-bian will come back to the political arena to seek office. Of course he could not do it in 2008 because of the two term rule; however, in 2012 he could reenter again. I really believe the KMT came after my husband because he was young enough to run again.”
“Then there is the effort to destroy a reputation in public with the charges of corruption,” said Wu.
“I believe the KMT knew about Chen’s strong mindset on the importance of Taiwan independence and was afraid of his intention to enter the 2012 election with independence as a goal. This makes him an enemy of the KMT and the effort to come together with China. That is the prime reason why they go after him.”
Wu described the deterioration of Chen’s mental health: “In the past, even when the Red Shirts Army were making a lot of noise in Taiwan, difficult times, when he came back home he would always smile, give me a smile. He was still a man of strong spirit then. However, I have noticed after the election he was tired and lost his attention, Chen was very depressed. One reason is that Ma is so bad and so incompetent, how could this guy win reelection? I think from that point on he could not settle down. Besides, he has been in a very difficult situation.”
‘The election results were a big blow to his hopes for independence. It is sad for me that my husband is in such a situation,” said Wu.
“President Chen is Taiwanese and stands for the Taiwanese. If you want to compare Chen Shui-bian with Ma Ying-jeou, Ma is not really for the Taiwanese, for Taiwan’s interest. Ma is easier for both the United States and the People’s Republic of China to deal with because Ma quickly delivers up [surrenders] the interest of the Taiwanese.”
I asked Wu what message she would like to send to the American public: “The United States and the Taiwanese share the common values of democracy and human rights. The United States has the channels to know the truth but lacks the balance of view about the KMT. At the very least, the American Institute in Taiwan knows enough people that speak English to give a fair assessment about President Chen. The United States should have a fair mind.”
“I believe that the United States is doing Ma Ying-jeou a favor by going along with the case against Chen. Ma’s popularity is really low and he is trying to pump it up by declaring Chen Shui-bian is corrupt. I am disappointed in the U.S. government.”
I closed the interview by asking Wu about rumors Chen was going to form a new political party.
Wu answered: “In the condition he is in, he could not have started a new political party, or any organization of this sort. Chen is still very supportive of the Democratic Progressive Party and encourages the party to not waiver in dealing with China.”

廣電三法騙字訣

2013-01-12
馬政府原本承諾昨天要讓「廣電三法反媒體壟斷管制條款」三讀通過,前晚卻因總統府、行政院介入而大逆轉。民進黨主席蘇貞昌表示,「人民呼喊一年,不如財團干預一天」,抨擊國民黨說要改革,結果卻是演戲。原本,國民黨還想在「廣電三法」跟在野黨競飆改革,結果證明他們又是說一套、做一套。他們在人民睡前承諾改革,卻在人民睡覺之際反改革,改革夢做了一夜不到,而且這種模式屢試不爽。這次,馬英九總統似乎想在一一三火大遊行之前,用「廣電三法」假改革來騙人,但演得太拙劣了。
「廣電三法」決策急轉彎,再一次讓馬英九的「騙字訣」顯露無遺。去年底,有關退休軍公教人員年終慰問金案,馬政府信誓旦旦提出改革方案,搞了半天原來只是懍於民意壓力,今年姑且先減發,明年再伺機恢復,甚至補發。年終慰問金一案,馬英九、陳冲把自己粉飾成改革者,實際上卻是徹徹底底的反改革,拒絕根除缺乏法律依據的年終慰問金。他們這樣做,無非是欺騙台灣人民,讓大家誤以為他們很重視公平正義,而其實他們卻讓不公不義根深柢固。
奇怪的是,馬英九的「騙字訣」,竟能騙倒不少人,有些人還一再上當。第一次大選的六三三等馬上好承諾,上任不久全部都馬上壞。可是,第二次大選,依舊有六百多萬人繼續被騙。特別是,馬英九的「黨產歸零」證明完全是謊言、騙局一場,國民黨的不義黨產不僅至今沒有「歸零」,一年光是股息收入就有近三十億元,有人因此諷刺是「黨產加零」。台北地方法院判決還披露,所謂的「三中黨產交易案」牽涉鉅額回算利潤!這個金光黨的頭頭真是裡裡外外都騙。
日前,中國發生「南方周末」事件,馬政府嘴巴上關心中國的新聞自由,但對於台灣媒體可能遭中資介入,可能遭親中勢力壟斷,馬政府則表現得高度「無感」,他們到底要為誰護航?不得不啟人疑竇。立法院交通委員會日前審理NCC委員遞補案,民進黨立委管碧玲質疑,中資企業集團協助候選人汪用和父親創立新中國際集團並擔任大股東,因此擔心汪用和恐淪中資人頭,不適合擔任NCC委員。連NCC提名候選人都有如此「背景」,馬政府是不是為中資介入台灣媒體做準備啊?
從本屆大選前的老農津貼,到現在的「廣電三法」,在在顯示馬英九一貫利用「主席加黨產」牢牢控制立法院占多數的國民黨立委,所以他完全不怕民意支持度僅存十幾趴,完全不怕人民火大要上街,也要貫徹一己的意志。至於民意支持度僅存十幾趴,所帶給馬英九的唯一啟發反而是更加敵視「不友善媒體」,或明或暗協助「馬友友們」購併從而壟斷媒體。如果完成此一壟斷媒體的宏圖,則人民在天天洗腦之下,咸認馬政府「至少是有史以來政府表現最好的」,除了馬英九的滿意度可能大躍進,連一國兩區、終極統一也可能變成「主流民意」了。
於是乎,人民認為壟斷媒體不好,馬英九卻無積極反壟斷作為。試想,如果控制一半以上市場的媒體,都像余光中那樣將bumbler翻譯成大智若愚甚至神武飛揚,他有多爽?已經騙了四年多的馬英九,如今唯一的選擇是繼續騙下去,也只有「馬友友們」順利購併從而壟斷媒體,他才能夠大搖大擺地騙下去。如此這般,身為國家主人的我們,能不火大嗎?一一三能不上街讓馬英九看看我們有多火大嗎?台東太麻里白沙灣餐廳回收食物給下一波的客人食用遭離職員工舉發,觀光局火速將店家列入禁止排入行程名單,逼得該餐廳關門大吉。馬政府不斷回收謊言行騙江湖,我們也必須比照辦理!

Unfair Treatment Suffered by Former DPP government officials in Judicial Investigations and Trials

The Unfair Treatment Suffered by Former Democratic Progressive Party government officials in Judicial Investigations and Trials

By
Committee on Policy Research and Coordination
Democratic Progressive Party
Taipei, TAIWAN

Introduction

The scope of the concept of ``judicial`` contained in this report
 comprises, in addition to the commonly understood court system,
prosecutors` offices and the Ministry of Justice Investigation 
Bureau (MJIB). During the process of Taiwan`s democratization
 after five decades of ``hard`` or ``soft`` authoritarianism under 
Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang or KMT) rule, there have 
been two transfers of power between political parties from the
 KMT (after ruling Taiwan for nearly 55 years) to the DPP in May
 2000 and back to the KMT in May 2008.

During the previous period of governance by the Democratic 
 Party from May 2000 to May 2008, judicial reforms were limited
to the superficial organizational adjustments. Deeper and more 
significant aspects, such as enhancing the quality of judicial
 personnel and education and training, were barely touched during 
the re-examinations of our justice system. Moreover, the failure of
the DPP to thoroughly realize transitional justice during its eight 
in government aggravated the lack of independence in the overall
 operation of the judicial system. Personnel in the judicial system 
have not changed their concepts or mentalities in step with changing
 times and the entire judicial system continues to be plagued by a 
worrying lack of understanding of democratic principles and values.
 This shortcoming is manifested in the double standards and lack 
of respect of fundamental human rights commonly displayed by 
prosecutors, police, investigators and judges in the judicial process 
as well as the lack of effective external monitoring or balancing
 mechanisms.

Even if a portion of the personnel in the judiciary are aware of the 
importance of the independence of judicial judgments and endeavor
 to enhance their professionalism, they still often lack sufficient
 understanding of social realities due to the structural factors that
 have impeded democratization of the justice system. Even though 
there have been transfers of political power at the executive level, 
the concept of ``judicial independence`` remains a mere slogan.
Indeed, the use of this term as a tool for persons who cooperate in 
attacks upon dissidents has made it even more difficult to upgrade 
the quality of judgments or to build confidence among citizens in 
the credibility of the judiciary and has thus perpetuated a vicious 
downward spiral.

In fact, the lack of fairness of the judiciary has generated severe 
privations and lasting pain in the hearts of persons who have been
 directly impacted by its operation. If this is the case faced by 
ordinary people, then there is little need to add any description of
 the feelings of our DPP members who served or are serving in 
Government, many of whom have suffered the loss of their 
reputations and political futures and even imprisonment. Such
cases, even if they finally are found to be innocent, will be 
shadowed by these experiences for the rest of their lives.

Indeed, with regard to all the persons cited as defendants in criminal
 cases, prosecutors and MJIB investigators have manifested marked 
prejudice toward politicians. The most commonly seen example is 
the fact that the principle of ``confidentiality of investigations`` has
 became a dead letter as numerous details of the investigations of 
cases under prosecution have been continuously leaked to the
 public. In addition, investigative methods adopted by prosecutors 
and investigations have recurrently transgressed the principle of 
proportionality. Examples include the use of intense pressure or
 intimidation on persons to turn state witness (even to the extent of 
inciting state witnesses to commit perjury as a condition for a plea 
bargain). There should be little surprise that cases constructed 
through the use of inconceivable and unsupportable judicial 
procedures have frequently ended in acquittals once they are put
 to the test of rigorous examination of evidence by competent
 judges. In the light of such cases, it is natural for ordinary people in
 our society to sense a yawning gap between their expectations for
 justice and the actual operation of the judicial system and to feel
 even less confidence in the operation of the justice system.

Generally speaking, prosecution offices and the MJIB are the
 agencies that launch investigations. Therefore, this report will 
primarily focus on major cases in which DPP members have been
 subjected to arbitrary investigations launched by prosecutors or the
 MJIB or indicted in abuses of prosecutorial powers. This report will
 list numerous cases in which DPP members who served or are
 serving in government have been subjected to unfair and unjust 
treatment at the hands of the judiciary and provide brief
 explanations.

In order to distinguish between ``objective`` unfair treatment or
 ``subjective`` prejudice, we have divided the cases into three types
 as follows:

* Type I refers to judicial cases involving DPP members who held 
government positions in which they have already been acquitted, 
not indicted or not indicted with the investigation closed;

* Type II refers to cases in which DPP members who held 
government positions were subjected to unfair judicial treatment 
and which have already entered and have not yet completed the 
trial process but in which the most recent judgment remains ``not
 guilty``; and,

* Type III which refers to cases in which prosecutors and
investigators obviously transgressed the principle of proportionality
or displayed other forms of bias.



Type I: Cases Featuring Acquittals or Closure without Indictments

This section includes judicial cases in which DPP members who
 served in government were subjected to investigations or were 
indicted and simultaneously subjected to large-scale attacks by
certain media linked with the KMT that sparked misunderstandings
 in public opinion. The persons subjected to such campaigns, even if 
they finally were judged to be innocent, have yet to be truly cleared 
in the eyes of the public. Among these cases are examples in which 
courts have issued final judgments of innocence. These include the 
of former National Science Council vice chairman Shieh Ching-jyh 
in the Taiwan High-Speed Railway System Vibration Control
 Contract case, former Nantou County mayor Peng Pai-hsien who 
received a ``not guilty`` verdict after 10 years of legal battles over
corruption charges, former presidential secretary-general Chiou I-jen
who was finally confirmed to be ``not guilty`` in the so-called
``Stabilize Asia`` (An-Ya) case and in the so-called Papua New 
Guinea diplomatic scandal case, and former DPP secretary-general 
Wu Nai-jen in a case regarding alleged ``gangster entertainment 
expenses.``

In addition, there were cases in which prosecutors did not issue
 indictments after allegations were made or after extended
investigations launched against DPP government official, such as in
 the allegations made against former DPP chairwoman and 
presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen of malfeasance in the so-called
 Yu-Chang (TaiMed Biologics, TMD) case that affected the course 
of the January 2012 presidential election and the ``Taiwan Goal``
 case involving former DPP secretary-general Wu Nai-jen.

* The following descriptions, updated to January 13, 2013, will
include the name of the concerned DPP members, the position or 
assignments they held in government, the nature of their alleged 
crimes and the past and present situation.
