We feel that we Taiwanese are not respected [by the CCP]. For the sake of freedom of speech and press, we should bravely safeguard our human rights and freedom."

City Council Member Chen Hui-wen said, "If Taiwan's judiciary can charge Jiang Zemin similar to Spain's stand on human rights, it would mark major progress for Taiwan's human rights. Taiwan's judiciary would be more credible. I hope the [Taiwanese] judiciary system can use Spain as a reference when dealing with human rights cases."

I hope they can refer to the sentence of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the lawsuit to stop such brutal crimes. Such a sentence will warn rulers who engage in brutal conduct to learn a lesson quickly and turn away from crimes [against their people]. Rulers should take care of people and respect life."
