Taiwanese Legislative Committee Debates Criminal Procedure Law Amendments on Pre-trial Detention
Taiwan's Legislative Yuan's Judiciary and Organic Laws Committee is reviewing amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law. A proposal by the Taiwan People's Party to remove 'collusion with co-defendants or witnesses' as a ground for pre-trial detention has sparked debate. Prosecutors' groups criticize it as weakening investigations, while a jury association argues it prevents abuse of detention powers.
