The former owner of the Causeway Bay bookstore in Hong Kong, Lin Rongji, was splashed with paint in Taipei in April, and the Taipei District Court sentenced each of the three suspects to three to four months in prison for assault on Nov. 18. In response, Lin Rongji argued that the price is too small for the suspects and that “they can repeat the crime.
It was reported that Lin was splashed with paint on the morning of April 21 while dining at a coffee shop on a section of Taipei’s Zhongshan North Road. The local police have since apprehended the main suspects in Kaohsiung, Zheng Qilong and the brothers Zeng Shisheng and Zeng Shifeng. According to the Central News Agency, the Taipei District Court on Wednesday sentenced Zheng Qilong to four months in prison for assault, and Zeng Shisheng and Zeng Shih-feng to three months in prison each.
In the case of the case, the court said that it was “like a vacation” for the brothers to be sentenced to three to four months in prison, and it was a predictable consequence for the suspects. The suspects may have been financed by “Chinese, Red, or Communist Party” money to support their crimes.
Lin Rongji pointed out that Taiwan’s laws have little deterrent effect on the behavior in question: “The price is too small for them (the suspects), and the sentence is useless because they can repeat the offense and it will happen again.
