Professor Wang Po-Chi was interviewed by “Taiwan New Vision”: Will flogging really stop crime? Opposition proposes referendum on flogging! Who knows the physical and mental pain? What is justice? 20260427

➊ Opposition holds a majority in parliament! No need for direct legislation? Is flogging legislation technically difficult?
➋ Only after being flogged do people know the pain? Does torture reduce crime rates? Is human rights a step backward?
➌ Fear of violating the Constitution and the two covenants! Infringing on human dignity? Is authoritarianism the only way?

Invited Guests:
Liao Fu-te (President of the Taiwan International Law Society)
Wang Po-Chi (Associate Professor, the Department of Criminal Justice at Ming Chuan University)
Lin Chih-chun (Practicing Lawyer)
Wang Chao-pin (Senior Social Reporter)
