Taiwanese families of soldiers who suffered under the military justice system in the past are speaking out against President Lai Ching-te’s plan to reinstate military courts. The proposal, part of broader national security measures to counter Chinese espionage, has raised concerns over wrongful convictions and a lack of transparency. Military courts were abolished over a decade ago after public outcry, but the government insists the new system will ensure fairness and human rights protections. Families and advocacy groups are demanding the reinstatement of an appeal commission to prevent past injustices from recurring.
