5.7億藏哪？陳致中夫婦提認罪協商

更新日期:2008/12/30 06:35

台北地院召開陳水扁案羈押庭，檢辯激烈攻防長達12小時，過程檢方拋出震撼彈，也就是陳致中夫妻到特偵組，具狀表示願意供出5.7億元流向，也願意把錢匯回台灣，就起訴部分進行認罪協商，也顯示陳致中夫妻不只是單純人頭角色。(黃進恭報導)

陳水扁案羈押庭長達十二個小時，檢辯雙方高手過招，誰都不願退讓。被告陳水扁說十二月十八號吳淑珍講 說她已要陳致中夫妻透過律師具狀寫了一份陳報狀給特偵組，把五億七千萬的錢清楚交代，絕對不是流向不明，特偵組也不約談陳致中夫妻，也不對陳報狀中所述內 容作偵訊，一再表示這樣現金流向不明，不得不懷疑檢察官特別保留一手，不讓這樣的真相大白，作為繼續羈押他理由，如果真是這樣用心，他真會被羈押到死為 止。

特偵組檢察官林(三個吉)慧則說五億七千萬，被告陳水扁提到他兒子陳致中向特偵組具狀表示願意向特偵組說明，但他們說明的只是一小部 分，從他們具狀是提出要認罪協商，他們願意將瑞士部分匯回台灣，還願意說出五億七千萬下落，但認罪協商是要在審理階段進行，辯護人認定我們說為何有五億七 千萬在海外，從陳致中狀紙就可看出假如他們願意繳回，就直接匯回國內，更何況被告陳水扁之前在偵查中說這些錢都是選舉結餘款，而且只有在瑞士部分。陳致中 的認罪協商，也間接證實特偵組始終查不出來的五點七億，宣稱只是單純人頭角色的陳致中，看來相當清楚錢藏在哪，也難怪成為檢方最後的壓箱寶。

台北地院裁定陳水扁收押不禁見

更新日期:2008/12/30 05:25 呂采千

台北地院29日下午2時召開前總統陳水扁羈 押庭，歷經12個多小時馬拉松審理，最後法官以陳水扁罪嫌重大，有逃亡、煙滅偽造、變造證據、勾串或串供共犯或證人之虞等事證，當場裁定陳水扁收押不禁 見、可通信，但若有發現上開情事則另為處分。陳水扁律師鄭文龍則轉述指出，陳水扁感謝社會對他的關心，未來會繼續努力來表清白並且為他所愛的台灣付出心 力。鄭文龍說：

『第一點，昨天晚上夫人就說，你(陳水扁)不用看了(閱卷)了，你一定會被押，果然是如此，第二點，陳前總統對社會各界還是表達感謝之意，第三點，他還是會努力在後續審理上來努力證明他的清白，他還是會為台灣這塊土地努力。』

鄭文龍表示，未來會據理力爭法官迴避一事，並與陳水扁及其家人商議後提出抗告。

當法官做出收押判決後，陳水扁先是一愣，蔡守訓問他要通知誰，陳水扁略啞啞声聲音回應「請通知我太太」，隨後就與律師私語，支持者大喊「政治迫害」、「土匪」、「司法死了」，並與警方發生推擠叫囂情形。此時，也有一名婦人高喊「陳水扁就是愛錢」，所幸她與阿扁支持者間有警方隔離而沒發生意外衝突。

庭訊時，蔡守訓訊問陳水扁，有沒有南線專案及甲君，兩者有無請領國務機要費?是否以國家機密說辭來干擾司法權運作等問題。

陳 水扁回答，不知有南線專案，甲君則有此人，但未申領國務機要費，至於國家機密是在大法官627號解釋後指出，國家元首有國家機密特質，基於對J案的密祕外 交的保密，才會將所有領據視做機密，絕無干擾司法意圖，他重申只冀望能像一般人般享有被告訟權利的防禦權，他愛台灣及人民，絕不會逃亡，他也希望全案能速 審速決，讓他能為自己清白辯護。

檢方則提出羈押陳水扁的理由，有逃亡、煙滅證據、勾串、串供之虞等事證，並指出，陳致中夫婦在12月18日具狀要向檢方說明海外資金流向，是認罪協商，此部份應該在法院審理進行。檢方強調，扁若不羈押起來，不利於未來案情的偵辦。

扁及委任律師逐一承駁回檢方控訴，律師鄭文龍則批評檢方，演了3次聲押的戲碼，是「歹戲拖棚」，他籲請應速進入實質審理程序，並認為檢方聲押動作不是文明國家司法的做為。

對於陳水扁收押一事，特偵組發言人陳雲南整夜未眠等待結果，他說，前線在奮戰，他怎能去睡覺，他尊重法院裁定。

前兩次地院聲押庭由審判長周占春審理，陳水扁都被判無保開釋，隨後，審理權轉移至審理國務機要費的蔡守訓合併審理後，在第三度聲押庭，陳水扁則被收押。

另外，扁嫂吳淑珍在國務機要費案中，連續缺席18次，陳水扁在庭上說，他太太看到蔡守訓就昏倒了，所以預言陳水扁「穩死」，蔡守訓則建議扁嫂多出庭就不會怕他。

特偵組偵辦扁案在11月12日將陳水扁羈押，12月12日依貪污等罪嫌起訴後，移審台北地方法院，隔日清晨就被無保釋放，特偵組提出抗告，台灣高等法院17日裁示發回地院更裁，台北地院18日仍裁定無保釋放陳水扁，特偵組25日二度抗告，高院28日撤銷原裁定，因此才有地院29日再次召開羈押庭之舉。

Kaola Activists held vigil outside QRP for Kangaroo Activists

Activists will be camping overnight awaiting release of Shafii'e & Isrizal, started tonight 8PM, many people came at various portions of time arriving and leaving. I have court case tomorrow with famiLEE LEEgime, so I left at about 11PM.

It was cool and windy tonight, clear sky, laughing matter is that famiLEE LEEgime weather forecast falsely warned this weak that very heavy rains in 4 days in this week may cause flood in lower ground areas of Singapore, nothing much to rain in the last few days since their warning. :-)

Honorable Activist Went To Jail For Being Honest Towards Justice

Isrizal & Shafi'ie on their way to High Court to join QRP Resort Club as our latest members this morning. Dozen of activist went to High Court to send our Honorable and Truthful friends off, I could only send them off from this street corner outside High Court because I was myself rushing to Sub Court for Speakers' Cornered trial (old dog thief's birthday 16.Sept.2006 WB-IMF). Activists including those on their way to jail are all high spirit and cheerful as this video shows them crossing the road. Singaporeans can assure famiLEE LEEgime that their oppressive charges and sentences doses not deter people's fighting spirit but instead fueled stronger fights.

The truth is in this world there are more than famiLEE LEEgime's courts being attacked and criticized for unfairness and lack of independence etc, however while some regimes are confident and steady to conduct themselves, and maintained their own styles, famiLEE LEEgime uniquely is the COWARD THAT CLEARLY DISPLAYED THEIR OVER-REACTIONS. This is no other indications that the activists had hit them on the right spot correctly and effectively for these panic responses to display their weakness and vulnerability. famiLEE LEEgime is so far the least confident and most cowardly bastard showing clear signs that they can not take it when there are just 3 activists wearing these simple T-shirts. In contrast, the Myanmar Junta audaciously shot the protesting monks and then sat down and shake legs as the entire world criticized, the junta bastards are confident that they will get away with that thus they don't display any response towards criticism. You can call junta's court Kangaroo they won't even be bordered.

Legislation Change marked Taiwanese Student's Victory

Taiwanese Parliament today changed legislation on laws governing Protest Assembly & Procession, marking victory to student's campaign which they had camped in various cities in Taiwan since 6.Nov.2008. But the students are still not happy with the amendments which they had demanded. They will still make protest march tomorrow. Amnesty International made public statement in support of the students, who thinks the amendments made in the legislation is a game of words played by the government.

Taiwan: Police should avoid using excessive force at upcoming protests

Amnesty International has urged Taiwan's police force to comply with international guidelines on the use of force and crowd control at the planned student protests on Sunday 7 December.

The organization also joins calls for the Control Yuan, the body mandated by the Taiwan Constitution with supervisory power over the Executive branch, to conduct an independent inquiry into alleged excessive police force during November's protests.

The Wild Strawberry Student Movement has staged sit-ins since 6 November to protest against what they consider the use of excessive force during the Taiwan visit of Chen Yunlin, chairman of the China-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait. Civil society groups in Taiwan are investigating multiple claims that individuals suffered head injuries and broken fingers at the hands of police during the protests.

According to police reports on 8 November, approximately 10,000 police officers had been deployed during Chen's visit; 149 police officers and 200-300 individuals were injured; 18 were arrested.

Taiwanese civil society groups claim that police have applied the Assembly and Parade Law arbitrarily to silence dissent. According to the students' spokesperson, they will not seek police approval, as required by the law, but will only "report" their plans to law enforcement authorities, in line with amendments advocated by the Movement.

The Movement is organizing the protest on Sunday 7 December to criticize the government's failure to amend the Assembly and Parade Law.

Amnesty International said Taiwan's Control Yuan should address the serious concerns raised by civil society in Taiwan and the government should cease the practice of using the Assembly and Parade Law to deny freedom of assembly and allow individuals to protest peacefully. Amnesty International also called on Taiwanese police and judicial authorities to ensure that they investigate any protesters accused of engaging in violence in a fair, transparent, and timely manner in compliance with international standards.

Background

On 3-7 November 2008, Chen Yunlin, chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits, led a 60-member delegation from the People's Republic of China to visit Taiwan and meet with President Ma Ying-jeou.

The police barred protesters displaying Taiwanese and Tibetan flags and anti-China slogans along the routes taken by the envoy and confiscated or damaged some of these items. The police also closed a shop near the hotel where Chen Yunlin had dinner with Kuomintang honorary chairman Lien Chan when the shop loudly broadcast music from an album titled 'Songs of Taiwan'.

There were additional reports of arbitrary detention and police brutality, some of which, according to the police, were in response to the violence of protesters.

Following the visit, hundreds of students have staged sit-ins across Taiwan protesting the police's handling of the protests and demanding amendments to the Assembly and Parade Law, which has been misused to prevent protests.

On 6 November the students started their sit-ins outside the offices of the Executive Yuan or (Executive branch), where they were eventually removed by police on the grounds of illegal assembly. They continued the sit-ins at the National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall and organized a daily demonstration calling for immediate amendments to the Assembly and Parade Law, apologies from the president and head of government and the resignations of the heads of the police and national security.

On 18 November Taipei police announced a list of 66 "troublemakers", who had allegedly thrown gas bombs and stones at the police and spat at the Taichung mayor. There were also reports that the police had pressured journalists and their supervisors to hand over video tapes to identify suspects who allegedly took part in the violence.

集遊法改報備制 限縮命令解散權

更新日期:2008/12/05 04:34 江慧真／台北報導

行 政院四日院會通過《集會遊行法》修正草案，將現行許可制改為報備制。立院若審議通過，集遊法將取消行政刑罰規定，回歸普通刑法；警察命令解散權也大幅限 縮，只有在「使用暴力、違反安全距離、阻礙交通」三原則下才可行使。遊行活動必須在重要機關周邊三百公尺的安全距離限制，也將鬆綁範圍。

現行《集遊法》規定，室外集會、遊行應於六日前向主管機關申請許可，政院版順應民意，修正為「應五日前向主管機關報備」，且若有突發的「不可預見之重大緊急事故」，必須立刻舉行，否則無法達到目的者，則不在此限。

內政部次長簡太郎說明，這次修法的重點，在於刪除現行條文第四條，集會遊行不得主張「共產主義」或「分裂國土」的規定，以落實表現自由。此外，警察的命令解散權，明確限縮在「使用暴力、違反安全距離、壅塞交通」的情形，且警察須在警告、制止無效時，才能命令解散。

他 強調，此次修法強化集會遊行的「自律規範」，要求集會、遊行負責人應在集會、遊行時「親自在場主持」及維持秩序，並應指定糾察員協助維持秩序。簡太郎說， 對於妨害集會、遊行者，負責人或糾察員可以排除，受排除的人應立即離開現場，若拒絕離開，負責人依法律授權，可以請求現場警察指揮官協助驅離。

集遊改報備 違規要罰錢

更新日期:2008/12/05 07:40 記者李順德、湯雅雯／台北報導

行政院院會昨天通過集會遊行法修正草案，行政院說，修法的重點是，將室外集會遊行由「申請許可制」改為「報備制」，刪除刑罰規定，對負責人違法改依行政罰鍰，有暴力行為由刑法規範。

不過，新法中仍規定，若主管機關認為「足以立即危害國家安全或社會秩序的明顯事實」，或「足以認為有立即危害生命、身體、自由或財物造成重大損害的明顯事實」等情況，得禁止、於必要範圍內限制或變更路線、場所、時間等，此一規定讓集遊法仍然保留有「許可制」的實質權力。

持續在自由廣場抗議的野草莓學生表示，此草案乍看下符合報備原則，但仔細看都是在玩文字遊戲，「換湯不換藥」，周日遊行將如期舉行。

內政部次長簡太郎說，集會遊行者須在室外集會，由負責人在遊行的五日前向主管機關提出報備書，但如果有「不可預見的重大緊急事故，且非即刻舉行無法達到目的」者，不在此限。

另外，總統府、軍事堡壘等禁制區內不得集會遊行的規定，改以畫定公告的「安全距離」取代，並刪除現行條文第四條「集會遊行不得主張共產主義或分裂國土」的規定，以落實言論自由。

簡太郎表示，修法重點著眼於保護集會遊行者的權利，讓想說的話都能傳達給想傳達的人，警察的命令解散權雖仍維持，但明確限縮在使用暴力、違反安全距離及壅塞交通的情形，而且警察須在警告、制止無效時，才能命令解散。

法中規定，內政部會同有關機關畫定「安全距離」，但畫定原則是「應於維護機關、地區正常運作及安全秩序之必要」。過去軍事堡壘安全距離為三百公尺，外交部、各國駐華領使館為五十公尺，未來如何畫定，簡太郎說，會依這些地點的地形地貌來畫定衡量。

據了解，內政部的版本原在六日前提出報備書，後來經協調改為五日前應提出，原版本警方在收到報備書後，應在三天內做成書面行政處分，通知集會遊行負責人，經協調後也改為於三十六小時內，作成書面處分，避免同一個地點有兩個以上集會遊行團體。

由於這次修法去刑罰化，現行集會遊行，經命令解散而仍不解散，負責人原可處二年以下有期徒刑或拘役，改為處五萬以上，十五萬元以下罰鍰，該報備而未報備，負責人處五萬元罰鍰。

國際特赦組織 籲台灣警察勿濫用暴力

更新日期:2008/12/05 04:09

〔記者陳宣瑜、黃敦硯／台北報導〕在野草莓一二○七大遊行前夕，國際特赦組織（ＡＩ）在日前發文公開聲明，敦促台灣警方，大遊行當天的警力運用和群眾管制應遵守國際標準。

促允許人民和平抗爭

國際特赦組織聲明也指出，「野草莓學生運動」認為警方在處理陳雲林訪台期間的群眾抗議活動，過度使用暴力，因此從十一月六日起發動靜坐抗議至今，台灣的公民社會團體也在進行調查，民眾在抗議過程中遭警察打傷頭部和折斷手指等事件。

國際特赦組織同時呼籲，監察院應正視台灣公民團體所提出的嚴重關切，應停止利用集遊法箝制人民的集會自由，並應允許人民以和平方式從事抗議行動。

（中文原文：http://www.amnesty.tw/?p=597；英文原文：http://www.amnestyusa.org/document.php?lang=e&id=ENGASA380012008）

警政署強調依法行政

對於國際特赦組織的要求，警政署表示，警察作為一向秉持依法行政的原則，保障合法、取締非法、制裁暴力的態度不變，至於野草莓學運的遊行地點與路線，是在台北市警察局轄內，相信轄區分局與警察局會做最妥適的處理。

野草莓學運表示，週日的「一二○七野給你看」野草莓全台串連大遊行，預計中午十二點在自由廣場集結，下午一點出發沿著中山南路，步行到立法院、行政院，再到總統府前，野草莓會將棺材運到凱道上，進行「人權出殯」儀式，結束後回到自由廣場舉辦晚會，有地下樂團表演，還有各地野草莓代表上台暢談未來展望。

野草莓發言人奉君山表示，到目前為止統計，大約已有近千位學生、社運團體及老師會來參加遊行，他強調，參加遊行者請身著黑色上衣。另外，為避免模糊遊行訴求，參加者請勿身著或攜帶有政黨標誌、口號物品。

野草莓也表示，一二○七大遊行不會依照現行集遊法向警方申請遊行許可，但會根據學生所主張的修法原則向警方「報備」。

野草莓表示，從國際特赦組織的聲明看出，他們對台灣政府警察處理抗議行動的行為充滿疑慮，提前呼籲政府不要使用過當的警力，來保護學生。

野草莓重申，十二月七日的大遊行，三項訴求並未改變，總統馬英九及行政院長劉兆玄道歉、警政署長王卓鈞與國安局長蔡朝明下台，修改集遊法為自願報備制。

While these changes are happening in Taiwan, I am on trial in Singapore with others for the WB-IFM Speakers' Cornered case. shameless famiLEE LEEgime charged us for Attempting to participate in procession without permit.

Ass Loong Son had since the WB-IFM Speakers' Cornered gave in and permitted demonstrations at Speakers Corner. In comparison, Taiwanese change had now modified Assemblies & Processions to require only registration and no permit needs to be applied. In Speaker's Cornered only speech & assembly can be made with registration only and no permit need to be applied.

I had today told District Judge Toh Y C that I want to file Magistrate Complain before him against famiLEE LEEgime for committing Criminal Intimidation against WB-IMF protesters, that they may conduct Extra Judiciray Execution against WB-IMF protesters by ordering Police Force to Open Fire and kill protesters on the spot during WB-IMF. This is completely violent threat by a coward corrupt and incompetent LEEgime.

The judge told me that he is not prepared to hear this magistrate complain of mine in the middle of a crimial trial. :-)
