FORMER VP'S BODYGUARD ARRESTED FOR SPYING|呂秀蓮前隨扈退伍成共諜 王鴻儒被收押

A security detail of former Vice President Annette Lu was also arrested over suspected espionage activities. In light of this, DPP legislators proposed to strip all pension benefits of military officials convicted of espionage. Retired Major Wang Hong-ju, who was on the security detail of former Vice President Annette Lu, was arrested for spying for China. Lu stated that Wang was assigned to her during the 2000 presidential campaign and that she remembered little about him. ==ANNETTE LU Former Vice President== He did not spend much time in the Presidential Office after I was elected. We lost contact. I really did not know what he had been doing. This really has nothing to do with me. In response to recent espionage crimes, DPP legislators plan to impose a stricter penalty and cancel the pension for retired military officers spying for China. ==LEE CHUN-YI DPP Legislator== In response to the increasing espionage activities, we urge for stiffer penalties. We will pass the amendment to the Article 5-1 and 5-2 of the National Security Act as soon as possible. Although the Ministry of Justice and DPP legislators have proposed bills or amendments to protect national security, opposition legislators believed that protecting human rights is equally important. ==MA WEN-CHUN KMT Legislator== As long as human rights are not violated, national security is of the utmost importance. But this does not mean that protecting national security or preventing Chinese spies can be used as excuses for everything. ==FREDDY LIM NPP Legislator== The National Security Act should be improved. Charges of treason should be applicable to those who spy for China. The Ministry of National Defense stated that Wang had already retired and that no current military personnel was involved in this case. It will inform current and retired military personnel of such cases and pay more efforts to counter infiltration activities from China.
