Statement by the JRF Regarding Today's (29th) Passage of the Personnel Consent Case for Prosecutor-General Yen Ta-ho by the Legislative Yuan

Regarding today's (29th) passage of the personnel consent case for Prosecutor-General Yen Ta-ho by the Legislative Yuan, our Foundation issues the following statement:

1. Upholding the vision of institutional reform, even before the nominee for Prosecutor-General was announced, the JRF raised ten crucial questions to be addressed by any prospective Prosecutor-General. During his legislative review on April 16, the newly appointed Prosecutor-General Yen Ta-ho also explicitly stated that he "will never report individual cases to the President" and that, "in the long run, [he] supports the abolition of the Special Investigation Division."
2. Today, as the Legislative Yuan has passed the personnel case for Prosecutor-General Yen Ta-ho, our Foundation extends its congratulations. We also hope that he will clearly state his positions on the remaining eight questions and look forward to seeing him respond to these highly challenging issues through concrete actions over the next four years.
