Former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), who has been on medical parole since early January, is to have his parole extended for a further three months, the Ministry of Justice said yesterday.

Chen, who is serving a 20-year sentence for corruption, is to be allowed to continue to receive medical treatment outside prison after his parole expires today, the ministry’s Agency of Corrections said.
