JRF Expresses Deep Regret over Control Yuan's Failure to Impeach Prosecutor-General Huang Shih-ming

Regarding the failure to impeach Prosecutor-General Huang Shih-ming, our organization issues the following statement:

1. As the petitioner who filed the complaint against Prosecutor-General Huang Shih-ming with the Control Yuan, our organization expresses deep regret over today's voting result.
2. Nevertheless, our organization highly commends Control Members Hung Te-hsuan and Wu Feng-shan, who initiated the investigation ex officio, and suggests that they register a dissenting opinion on this impeachment case and request a re-examination.

Huang Shih-ming abused his power, acted unlawfully by leaking secrets, and has been indicted by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, making him thoroughly unfit to serve as Prosecutor-General. This is a matter of profound right and wrong concerning whether the entire prosecution system can continue to operate and whether its institutional framework can remain sound. Control Members should carefully reconsider whether to impeach Huang Shih-ming, lest they substantiate public accusations that they succumbed to the pressure of fearing non-renomination when their terms expire next year.
