On Monday, Ho was to be released on NT$200,000 bail, but she told prosecutors that she could not pay. The investigation is “political persecution,” Ho said, adding that the tour was unrelated to the Jan. 11 elections. “It was not vote-buying.”The 16 tour participants were questioned and released on Monday, without bail. This indicated that the tour was meant to garner votes for the CUPP and Ho, they added. Born in China’s Hunan Province, Ho in 1996 married her Taiwanese husband and came to live in Taiwan.
