The latest suspects to have been ordered detained are former Dingyue

director-general of former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je's office in 2015.
Both suspects were questioned late Friday and into Saturday before
prosecutors applied for detention orders (羈留令).

Former Hong Kong Lawmaker to Open Restaurant in Taipei
Former Hong Kong lawmaker and pro-democracy activist Tanya Chan has announced
she's opening a new restaurant in Taipei and will serve as its head chef.
Chan moved to Taiwan three years ago.
And and she's taken to Facebook to say the restaurant will be called "Red
Cotton" and will be located in the city's Songshan District.
According to Chan, she rarely (很少) had time to cook during her previous
life as a lawyer and lawmaker in Hong Kong, but after coming to Taiwan she
missed the flavors of Hong Kong.
Chan served as a legislative councilor for Hong Kong Island from 2008 to 2012
and again from 2016 to 2020.

diversification is a key issue he must address.
He told election committee members who will vote on Oct. 13 that the city
