Taiwan decision to free fraud suspects wrong
LI FENG/CHINA DAILY Taiwan police on Saturday released 20 fraud suspects who were deported from Malaysia on Friday. The 20 people, released for the "lack of evidence", were among 52 Taiwan residents who the Malaysian authorities arrested for suspected telecommunication fraud, which affected many people on the Chinese mainland as well as in Taiwan. In response, An Fengshan, a spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, urged the Taiwan authorities on Saturday to give the suspects "the punishment they deserve", and emphasized that their release will only encourage fraudsters and harm cross-Straits law enforcement cooperation. To respond to the public outcry for justice on the mainland as well as in Taiwan, the island's authorities should accord priority to protecting the legal interests of the fraud victims, as the 2009 agreement on jointly cracking down on crimes requires, instead of politicizing the issue. Also, judiciary officials from Taiwan need to visit the mainland and closely cooperate with local investigators, in a bid to make sure all criminals are duly punished and victims properly compensated.
