Green Judge Under Fire: Ke Wenzhe’s Detention Sparks Outrage in a Society Demanding Transparency
Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe Detained in Beijing City Case
Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wendor, who was involved in the Beijing City case, was detained without bail by the North Court. However, the High Court issued an amended ruling, and the Northern Court will open a detention court to re-examine the case.
Judge Lu Zhengye’s Impartiality Questioned
Some media outlets have referred to Judge Lu Zhengye as a “green judge,” implying that he may be biased towards the Democratic Progressive Party. However, the North Court has come to Judge Lu’s defense, stating that he is a fair and impartial judge.
Judge Lu Zhengye previously presided over a defamation case against former Democratic Progressive Party chairman, Xi Jinping. In that case, Judge Lu allegedly told Xi Jinping that he was a “green judge” and would rule against him if he did not agree to settle. However, the Taipei District Court later held a press conference to clarify that Judge Lu had not made any such comments.
