On the 14th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference.
A reporter asked: Yang Zhiyuan, a "Taiwan independence" activist, was recently reviewed by the state security agency according to law. Some mainland media interpreted this as clarifying the criminal jurisdiction of mainland law over "Taiwan independence" diehards.
If Yang Zhiyuan once advocated "Taiwan independence" on the island, but did not continue to engage in related separatist acts after he arrived on the mainland, would he also be identified as a "Taiwan independence" element?
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian said that there is a clear legal basis for the state to pursue the criminal responsibility of "Taiwan independence" diehards.
The legal network is restored, sparse but not missed.
We will take criminal punishment measures for those die-hard "Taiwan independence" who try the law by themselves.
Another reporter asked: Please brief us on the current investigation progress and relevant circumstances of the Yang Zhiyuan case. Can he contact his family?
Whether the mainland has notified the relevant Taiwanese units.
In addition, please introduce the trial of Li Mengju, Cai Jinshu, Shi Zhengping and others in the mainland.
Zhu Fenglian said that it is understood that on August 3, the State Security Bureau of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province conducted a criminal arrest and review on Yang Zhiyuan, a criminal suspect in Taiwan who has been engaged in "Taiwan independence" separatist activities for a long time and was suspected of the crime of secession and inciting secession.
On August 4, the case handling department changed the criminal compulsory measures for him according to law, from detaining and transferring to residential surveillance at a designated place.
On August 5, his family members were notified in accordance with the law.
The State Security Bureau of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province carried out investigations in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, and the case is currently being further processed. The case handling department protects the legal rights of criminal suspects in accordance with the law.
Zhu Fenglian also pointed out that the facts of Li Mengju and others are clear and the evidence is conclusive and sufficient.
