Files tie Chiang Ching-kuo to NTU surveillanceBy Chen Yu-fu and Dennis Xie / Staff reporter, with staff writerNewly declassified documents tie former president Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國) to the political persecution of members of National Taiwan University’s (NTU) Department of Philosophy in the 1970s, the Transitional Justice Commission said. Chiang, who was premier at the time, should ultimately be considered responsible for the persecution, the commission said. The commission made the remarks after the National Security Bureau and the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau declassified intelligence files related to what is known as the NTU Department of Philosophy Incident. However, the National Security Bureau appeared to be more inclined to support Sun in his purge, the files show. The NTU Department of Philosophy Incident happened because Chiang could not make his judgements based on facts, it added.
