As the extension of military service triggered much attention, the family of a victim of wrongful death in the military accused that in 2020, army lieutenant Huang Chih-jieh, who was allegedly bullied and committed suicide; as such, they demand that this case be investigated.
The family of a victim of wrongful death in the military arrived at the presidential palace to deliver their petition, in which they stipulated that army lieutenant Huang Chih-jieh was allegedly bullied to death in 2020. The family charged that the injustice of Huang Chih-jieh's wrongful death has been sustained for three years.
Ms. Huang, Huang Shih-jieh's Sister: “Although there is a plan to extend compulsory military service, if internal management is not improved, people may die in the military before the war even breaks out. Also, the Ministry of National Defense does not seem willing to face these problems.”
As the family of a victim of wrongful death in the military made charges, the Control Yuan proceeded to order corrective measures to the Ministry of National Defense, yet after three months, the Ministry of National Defense failed to act or re-open the case for investigation. The family also raised three major demands in its petition, namely, re-investigate Lieutenant Huang's wrongful death case, the death payment reason amended from "sickness" to "public duty," and re-discipline relevant personnel committing malfeasance and dereliction of duty.
Lin Bing-fong, Secretary-General, Taiwan Jury Association: “We can actually see that after the Ministry of Defense proposed the Zero Self-harm Policy, the number of people committing self-injuries in the military increased year by year, from 10-something people each year to 20 now. In actuality, the Zero Self-harm Policy does not seem to have any effect.”
Lin Bing-fong further urged that the Ministry of National Defense should really address Control Yuan's order of correction and pay attention to human rights in the military, as well as re-establish Military Injustice Committee to actually safeguard the human rights of soldiers as opposed to merely treating the protection of human rights as a formality.
軍冤家屬赴總統府遞交陳情書，陸軍中尉軍官黃志劼2020年疑似遭霸凌在軍中輕生，家屬控訴黃志劼軍冤案含冤3年。
黃志劼姊姊表示：「現在雖然說有兵役要延長，可是他們自己內部的管理如果不改善，還沒有開戰就死在軍中，而且國防部他們都不願正視面對這些問題。」
軍冤家屬控訴，監察院因此案對國防部提出糾正案，經過3個月國防部卻毫無動作，仍未重啟調查；也提出3大訴求，要求重啟調查黃中尉軍冤案件、撫恤「因病」改為「因公」，以及違失相關人員應重新懲處。
台灣陪審團協會秘書長林秉豐回應：「我們其實可以知道，在國防部提出零自傷政策的時候，其實每年軍中自殺人數是節節攀升，從每年的10幾人到現在20人，其實零自傷政策並沒有任何的作用。」
林秉豐也進一步呼籲，國防部應正視監察院糾正案，重視軍中人權並重設軍冤委員會，落實保障軍人人權，別將人權保護流於形式。
