“Prosecutors enforce the law and should themselves abide by the law. How could there be an abuse of power like this? I was deeply distressed to hear of the case and feel that Lin’s conduct is contemptible,” Tsai said.
Tsai said he has sent the Ministry of Justice’s chief secretary and a chief prosecutor to the kindergarten in question.
Tsai said that public prosecutors are already on the case, and the Prosecutorial Evaluation Committee could convene as early as next week to decide on disciplinary measures. [FULL STORY]
