Groups decry delays in case over Indonesian fisher’s death at seaStaff writer, with CNAAdvocacy groups yesterday criticized stalled proceedings in a case involving the Taiwanese-owned fishing vessel Da Wang (大旺號), saying it remains unresolved nearly four years after nine people were indicted over an Indonesian fisher’s death at sea. A representative from Taiwan Association for Human Rights speaks at a press conference held by Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lin Yueh-chin, left, in Taipei yesterday. “We know that when prosecutors and judicial authorities choose to actively pursue a case, they are capable of moving quickly,” Wang said. After Sunoto’s death, “the captain still demanded that we continue working,” Manny said, recalling that he and other fishers had asked the captain to head to shore first, but were ignored. He has remained in Taiwan since returning from the voyage in early 2020 in the hope of helping advance the case and cooperating with the trial.
