Final Ruling from the High Court(2004.09.15)

The Taipei Disctrict Court had ruled in favor of Josephine Ho in June. But the conservative groups immediately urged the prosecutor to file for an appeal, thus moving the case into the High Court. Jo appeared in the High Court on August 6th and September 1 to demonstrate the academic nature of the website and the integrity of her research. The final ruling came on September 15 when the High Court refuted the prosecutor's appeal and affirmed the District Court's not-guilty verdict. The verdict is now final, and freedom of speech and freedom of information are once again affirmed.
