Red terror in Taiwan

Taipei Times - archives: "Presiding Judge Teng Chen-chiu (鄧振球) listed several reasons for the court’s decision, saying that since Chen left office he has kept in frequent contact with people overseas and, as a former president, he knows more channels for fleeing the country than ordinary citizens. The judges also said that if he chose to escape, he would live comfortably off the funds he and his family had overseas."
