Taiwanese who thought the 'White Terror' time was over and the day of political persecution would never come back to Taiwan again has to think again now. One of the greatly respected political leaders at Yunin County (雲林縣), Ms. Su Jeu-Fun ( 蘇治芬), was put into jail on November 5, 2008.
About a month ago, I had reported that Yunin County is one of the poorest counties in Taiwan after 50 years of mis-management by KMT. Finally, Ms. Su Jeu-Fun ( 蘇治芬), a DPP politician was elected to the position of the county chief in 2006. In the last two years, citizens begin to enjoy some impacts of the reforms she had initiate such as setting up an infrastructure for Yunlin agricultral product sales. Yunlin County citizens were shocked yesterday to lean about their respected political leader is now in jail.
The Taiwan government (ruled by KMT) accuses her money laundering. The government allowed her to be bailed out with NT $6 million; Ms. Su. Refused. "I am innocent." she said.
Top photo shows that Ms. Su was hand-cuffed and was escorted into jail. The lower photo shows the cover she published explaining the policy of Yunlin County under her administration.
