Tsai Ing-Wen's 1.5 LSE Ph.D. statement                 

             UN Human Rights Council Complaint Procedure Form

1. I am a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Journalism & Mass Communication, a former director and journalism professor at National Taiwan University, and the most popular political TV show host from 2014 to 2019 in Taiwan.  
2. In August 2015, Singtao Daily, a Chinese-language newspaper, released an article questioning the legitimacy of presidential candidate Tsai Ing-Wen’s Ph.D. in the months leading up to the ROC presidential election in 2016. Ms. Tsai defended herself by replying to the public that the claims were fake and supported by the People’s Republic of China. (PRC)
3. In May 2016, Ms. Tsai became the first female president of ROC. I hosted President Tsai’s inauguration banquet because, at that time, I believed President Tsai had a doctoral degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
4. In August 2016, President Tsai's administration implemented a new act “Governing the Settlement of Ill-gotten Properties by Political Parties and Their Affiliate Organizations”. The Act allows President Tsai and her administration to take over the opposition party Kuomintang’s (KMT) assets.  
5. In April 2019, my five years political talk show got cancelled due to my request that the relevant records of Taiwan Mega Bank US branches' money laundering be declassified for public view. Mega Bank was fined $180 million by DFS in New York and $29 million by the Federal Reserve Board. These fines damaged Taiwan taxpayers' and investors' accounts. President Tsai classified all related bank records for ten years.
6. While President Tsai was running for re-election, she bragged that due to her excellent achievement in international trade, she was awarded an additional 0.5 Ph.D. degree in her public speech and her autobiography. President Tsai’s exaggerated statement attracted the attention of some scholars to read her doctoral thesis and investigate her Ph.D. scandal.  
7. In June 2019, under public pressure, President Tsai submitted a copy of her supposed thesis to LSE's Women's Library.
8. In August 2019, Professor Lin Hwan, a Taiwanese American at the University of North Carolina, visited the LSE's Women's Library to read President Tsai’s supposed thesis. Professor Lin wrote a 50-page investigation report which addressed that President Tsai had neither earned a Ph.D. degree from LSE nor written a doctoral thesis.  The supposed doctoral thesis appeared to be a faxed draft with missing pages, page numbers that do not match the table of contents, mixed British and American spelling, handwritten corrections, etc.  I agree with Professor Lin’s conclusion because I myself found more than 500 misspellings in President Tsai’s questionable thesis that appeared in 2019.
9. In September 2019, before 2020’s presidential election, President Tsai filed a criminal defamation lawsuit against me to cover up her Ph.D. fraud. President Tsai filed her criminal complaint through public prosecution rather than private prosecution, with the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office. Chief Prosecutor Xing Tai-Zhao assigned this legal case to Prosecutor Huang Wei for investigation.
10. Upon taking legal action, President Tsai suppressed all her questionable doctoral records and materials about her acceptance as an associate professor at National Cheng-Chi University at the highest level of classified information. Access to these documents is restricted until the end of 2049.
11. In October 2019, I visited LSE's libraries and was informed that the Senate House Library and Institute of Advanced Law Studies Library have never received Tsai Ing-Wen's 1983 or 1984 doctoral thesis.
12. In December 2019, President Tsai’s administration passed the Anti-Infiltration Act. The said Act and the existing Social Order Maintenance Act allow President Tsai’s administration to impose high fines or 5 years of imprisonment prosecution against those who cast President Tsai or her administration in a negative light.
13. In January 2020, President Tsai's controlled Central Election Commission claimed that she received 8.17 million ballots, the highest number of ballots in the ROC's presidential election history.  
14. On April Fool’s Day in 2021, I read two contradictory rulings from the Taipei Prefectural Procuratorate; Prosecutor Huang Wei pronounced both prosecution and non-indictment regarding my criminal aggravated defamation against President Tsai at the same time. Prosecutor Huang Wei refused to clarify which ruling was false. The reason for judgment states I deliberately slandered President Tsai because she shut down my political talk show.
15. Prosecutor Huang Wei rejected my investigation evidence but accepted President Tsai’s faxed, photocopied, questionable documents to convict me. My attorneys later found that Prosecutor Huang Wei kept my supportive evidence in the non-indictment file, and President Tsai’s inadmissible evidence in the prosecution file.
16. President Tsai’s criminal complaint against me was moved from the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office to Taipei District Court. Public Prosecutor Liu Cheng-Wu defended President Tsai’s Ph.D. scandal by conducting a further conviction for me.
17. When I accompanied my children back to the United States because school started, I was summoned to appear in court again on October 20, 2021. At that time, the pandemic in Taiwan was at its worst. My attorney Zhang Jing and Li Chen-Hua filed an application to request that the Judge allow me access to virtual court for the upcoming procedural preparatory hearing, and hundreds of people had sent a request to the Court ask for a public hearing regarding President Tsai v. Professor Peng’s lawsuit proceedings. Unfortunately, Public Prosecutor Liu Cheng-Wu and Judge Yau Nian-Tse issued a 13-year wanted warrant due to my absence in court even though I had retained two lawyers present. I then face up to five years of imprisonment should I return to Taiwan.
18. During that time, virtual court hearings existed in Taiwan.  A well-known YouTuber brought her son back to Taiwan from the United States, but her husband still stayed in the United States. On October 26, 2021, the couple agreed to divorce through a virtual court hearing in the Taipei District Court.
19. I have hosted a one-hour “True Voice of Taiwan” on YouTube every day with over 200 million views in the past four years. By commenting on defending ROC’s freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and judicial justice, and in monitoring and challenging President Tsai’s administration, I encountered further political persecution from President Tsai.
20. Multiple scholars or politicians who supported my investigation of President Tsai’s Ph.D. scandal were detained or jailed for injustice or unlawful prosecution.
21. Tung Chung-Yen, former Taipei City Councillor, holding a master’s degree from the University of Cambridge, addressed President Tsai could not get her Ph.D. in two years at 27 on the “True Voice of Taiwan”, and was sentenced to 3 years and 10 months in prison for falsely paying NTD50,000 (approx. USD1700) to his assistant 11 years ago. Mr. Tung was imprisoned in Yilan Prison on March 25, 2022.
22. President Tsai and her administration have hired domestic and international internet users to target and attack people that oppose President Tsai or have alternate opinions.  I have been a cyberbullying victim of President Tsai’s recognized cyber army’s online hostile attack almost every day.
23. President Tsai used her controlled media to slander me and spread fake news to attack me, such as my receiving payment from the PRC government to investigate the legitimacy of her Ph.D.  
24. I have suffered wiretapping, electronic surveillance, monitoring, death threats, and many other incidents of violation of human rights in Taiwan and the United States. My family lives in fear, and my 96 years old mother lives in sorrow in Taiwan.
25. In March 2022, a prosecutor and a group of police officers searched my attorney Zhang Jing’s office. Attorney Zhang was forcibly detained overnight. Attorney Zhang and I requested Prosecutor's Office return Attorney Zhang’s computer multiple times but with no success.
26. In October 2022, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in San Francisco cancelled my ROC passport. I have been forced into exile in the United States by President Tsai and her administration.
                            Exhaustion of domestic remedies
27. ROC’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs official website states: The Republic of China signed Charters of the United Nations on June 26, 1945, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide on July 20, 1949, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) on October 5, 1967.  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also issued a statement reaffirming ROC’s willingness to uphold and abide by the principles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
28. Ironically, in December 2019, President Tsai’s administration passed the Anti-Infiltration Act. The said Act and the existing Social Order Maintenance Act allow President Tsai’s administration to impose high fines or 5 years of imprisonment prosecution against those who cast President Tsai or her administration in a negative light.
29. President Tsai uses taxpayers' money to bribe and control the media so that nothing negative about her would be aired. The only exception is CTiTV news because the owner was ranked as the wealthiest person in Taiwan, which allowed him to fight against President Tsai. Unfortunately, the CTiTV news channel was shut down by the ROC National Communications Commission (NCC) in Nov. 2020. After its news channel was shut down, CTiTV moved to YouTube, and very soon, over 3 million of the Taiwanese population downloaded its app with YouTube.
30. On Dec 27, 2020, Yazhou Zhoukan (an Asia Weekly magazine www.yzzk.com journalist Tung Ching-Fong interviewed some of President Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) senior members and former chairmen who had fought for the freedom and human rights of Taiwan against KMT expressed their concerns regarding President Tsai’s abuse of democracy and human rights in Taiwan. YZZK then published an article addressing President Tsai’s dictatorship with a designed dictator picture on the cover of the weekly.
31. On December 30, 2020, President Tsai appointed Wu Ming-Hong, the husband of her cousin Lin Mei-Chu, as the new President of the Supreme Administrative Court. The Supreme Administrative Court is the court of last resort for the adjudication of administrative decisions made by the government of the Republic of China. Moreover, all fifteen judges in the Judicial Yuan were nominated by President Tsai. ROC’s judicial system is under President Tsai’s control.
32. On December 28, 2021, President Tsai’s Legislative Assembly passed amending articles in the Organic Law of the National Communications Commission. NCC, a government authority with all commissioners appointed by President Tsai, can ban internet content. President Tsai wholly violates Taiwan’s free speech and freedom of the press.
33. President Tsai, the highest-level official of the ROC is involved in the abuses alleged in this petition and the ratification of these abuses. President Tsai has spent big money on her impressive public image by purchasing media ads or granting some money-oriented scholars and politicians to make people believe she is concerned about human rights. She is, in fact, the one who has damaged democracy and human rights in ROC. For any person who criticizes or opposes President Tsai, police can harass and arrest them on charges of a criminal offense without requiring a warrant. My efforts to secure remedies in ROC are considered futile.
34. On July 28, 2022, Jack Healey, president and founder of the Human Rights Action Center, posted his letter to Madam Speaker Pelosi to bring to her attention “some important human rights issues related to Taiwan, critical to its democracy.” Mr. Healey wanted Madam Speaker Pelosi to bring up two things when she visited Taiwan. “First, please ask President Tsai to wash clean the record of CSB and, secondly, to provide relief to Professor Peng to avoid the optics of suppressing free press.” Unfortunately, President Tsai has never stopped committing political persecution against people who oppose her or pose a threat to her interests. Such people were searched, arrested, and sentenced by her administration. Further, the death threats from President Tsai to me keep increasing.
35. On October 15, 2022, Lee Yuan-Tseh, the first Taiwanese Nobel Prize laureate, was interviewed in an online program. Mr. Lee, a long-time supporter of President Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party, stated: “Things should become better in the process of alternating between political parties. However, they're just becoming more corrupt after gaining political power. The rate at which they're becoming corrupt is faster than before.” President Tsai has turned ROC into a corrupt and totalitarian state. I appeal UN Human Rights Council to help me protect the human rights of 23.8 million people in Taiwan. Evidence from other victims will be presented later.
