Footage apparently showing police and paramedics failing to give medical treatment
Nguyen Quoc Phi’s sister and father (second and third from left) took part in a protest calling for answers
to a Vietnamese migrant worker, who had been fatally shot by a police officer, has prompted outrage in Taiwan.
Former factory worker Nguyen Quoc Phi, 27, was shot nine times in Hsinchu County near Taipei on 31 August, after the officer and a government worker responded to a reported car theft.
Dashcam video from the first ambulance shows a police officer telling paramedics not to approach Nguyen because he had not been restrained.
They stood by for several minutes not offering the man any help. The ambulance then took away the slightly injured government worker without attending to the severely wounded man lying on the ground.
Despite his injuries, the casualty was handcuffed. A second ambulance later arrived but Nguyen was pronounced dead when he arrived at hospital. [FULL STORY]
