Court issues vote forgery sentencesStaff writer, with CNAThe Taichung District Court yesterday handed down mostly suspended sentences to workers at the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) Taichung chapter for falsifying documents in an effort to recall two Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers last year. Wu and Chen were also stripped of their civil rights for two years and fined NT$300,000 and NT$250,000 respectively, the court said.

Two other defendents, surnamed Chou (周) and Mai (買), received jail terms of nine months and one year respectively, with those sentences not suspended. The court did not specify why it did not suspend the sentences of Chou and Mai, saying only that the rulings can be appealed.
