By Sean Lin / Staff reporterThe Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) yesterday accused the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of silencing critics by having law enforcement agencies monitor people’s online activity and summon them for questioning. Chou is the deputy chief campaign officer for Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), the KMT’s presidential candidate. Some district prosecutors reportedly overstepped their jurisdictions, summoning people from other cities or counties, Chou said, urging agencies to confess to the public if they had ordered prosecutors to target the DPP’s critics. If Han is elected on Saturday, he would redress the injustices perpetrated against these people, Chou said. A woman from Kaohsiung said she had to appear in court later this month because she unwittingly shared a false news report.
