New Power Party (NPP) Executive Chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) yesterday criticized the judiciary for releasing convicted judge Hu Ching-pin (胡景彬) on early parole and demanded that the Ministry of Justice give the public an explanation on the matter.
After hearing about Hu’s release, after serving a prison term for accepting bribes to influence court decisions, Huang wrote on Facebook: “How can this corrupt judge deserve to receive an early parole?”
“I just found out Hu has been released on parole. This is a judge who destroyed public trust in the justice system,” Huang wrote. “He only served 438 days before receiving the judiciary’s generosity with an early parole.” [FULL STORY]
