Former National Women’s League (NWL) chairwoman Cecilia Koo (辜嚴倬雲) yesterday filed a request with a court to halt the execution of the Ministry of the Interior’s order to remove her and former league deputy chairwoman Yeh Chin-fong (葉金鳳) from office over their failure to sign an administrative contract.

Koo said in a statement that legal action has been taken to restore the truth and to protect herself from further defamation, calling Friday’s order by the ministry — which oversees civil associations — “illegal.”

“Since July, the ministry and the Cabinet’s Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee have been feeding information to the press, alleging that their negotiations with the league did not go well and that if the league did not sign the contract, they would strip me of my chairwomanship and freeze the league’s assets,” Koo said in the statement.
