Over the course of the 70-hour interrogation, Ko Wen-je was confined for two nights in a cramped, three-square-meter detention room at the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office. During this period, he was unable to bathe, deprived of darkness for rest, and provided only bread and water. He was also handcuffed unnecessarily. These conditions underscore serious concerns regarding the disregard for human rights in Taiwan’s judicial processes. Additionally, the rampant release of exclusive news from internal sources has significantly undermined the principle of judicial confidentiality.
On the evening of September 1, the Taipei District Court convened a detention hearing for Ko Wen-je at 8 p.m., ultimately ruling at 3 a.m. on September 2 to release him without bail. Two days later, the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office filed a petition for reconsideration, leading the High Court to remand the case for further proceedings. The district court then strategically scheduled a Pro-Ruling Party judge for the appeal, resulting in a court order for Incommunicado Detention.
