Re "Taiwan Debates Medical Parole for Ex-Leader" (news article, July 22):

As you note, there have been diverse discussions in Taiwan over medical parole for former President Chen Shui-bian. Taiwan is a democratic country with an independent, impartial and transparent judicial system, and the government must abide by the rule of law.

Mr. Chen was tried and found guilty by an unbiased court and is serving the appropriate sentence for the crimes he committed. He is still being tried for further counts of perjury and corruption.

Given his standing as a former political leader, he has been given all of the special treatment within the confines of the law, including 24-hour medical care by a highly professional team in a comfortable living space.

We appreciate the public's concern for Mr. Chen's health and well-being but would like to assure the international community that he is receiving fair and just treatment under the law.
