TSU accuses officials
of forging ¡¥1992 consensus¡¦
By Rich Chang / Staff reporter
Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) Chairman Huang Kun-huei (¶À©ø½÷) yesterday filed a
lawsuit for the second time against three government officials in charge of
cross-strait affairs, accusing them of forging official documents pertaining to
the so-called ¡§1992 consensus.¡¨
Huang filed the first lawsuit with the Taipei District Prosecutors¡¦ Office
against Straits Exchange Foundation Chairman Chiang Pin-kung (¦¿¤þ©[), Straits
Exchange Foundation Vice Chairman Kao Koong-lian (°ª¤Õ·G) and Mainland Affairs
Council Chairperson Lai Shin-yuan (¿à©¯´D) in November last year, but the district
prosecutors¡¦ office in May decided to close the case without indicting any
officials or taking further action.
Huang yesterday led TSU members to file the same suit for a second time at the
district prosecutors¡¦ office.
The TSU chairman added prosecutors did not investigate the case carefully, and
their investigation might be influenced by politics, so he filed the lawsuit
again.
¡§Prosecutors cannot not cover up those officials¡¦ actions and Taiwanese cannot
tolerate the forged 1992 consensus,¡¨ Huang said.
Huang, who alleged that the consensus never existed, accused the three officials
of sending a ¡§forged¡¨ letter on May 26, 2008, to China¡¦s Association for
Relations Across the Taiwan Straits to express Taiwan¡¦s wish to ¡§resume
cross-strait negotiations on the basis of the 1992 consensus¡¨ despite knowing
that the consensus had never been reached.
The district prosecutors¡¦ office said it has received the case and is to launch
an investigation into the matter soon.
