Dennis Engbarth reports<\/a> for Inter Press Service on the case of Chiang Kuo-ching, a Taiwanese airman who was executed in 1997 for the rape and murder of a five-year-old girl.\u00a0Military investigators tortured a confession out of Chiang after he failed to pass a lie detector “test.” Since then,\u00a0DNA evidence and a palm-print have incriminated a different person<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following is an excerpt from Engbarth’s report<\/a> for IPS:<\/p>\n

After a three-month retrial, Ministry of National Defence northern district military court judge Liu Yu-wei announced on Sep. 13 that a panel of three military judges had found that Chiang Kuo-ching, who was 23 at the time of his execution was “not guilty” of the rape and murder of a five-year-old girl at an Air Force headquarters complex in Taipei city in September 1996.<\/p>\n

The court stated that Chiang had been “locked in” as the prime suspect after failing to pass a lie detector test administered by Investigation Bureau agents, and acknowledged that Air Force counter-intelligence agents acting under the orders of then Air Force Commander and later defence minister Chen Chao-min had “used improper methods to obtain a confession from the defendant and used the confession to bolster weak forensic and physical evidence.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Earlier this year, the Taipei Times<\/em> reported<\/a> that:<\/p>\n

Chiang and three other suspects were arrested, but Chiang was the only one who did not pass a lie detector test.<\/p>\n

The military subsequently sent in counterintelligence officers, who subjected him to various forms of torture and extracted a confession from the young airman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
