I'm a Canadian foreigner in Taiwan.  The Tainan City High Court denied me the right to have a Criminal trial.  It sounds unbelievable.  I was sick on the day of the trial, but the court proceeded anyway.  I gave my lawyer a letter from the doctor, but it didn't matter.  To make things worse, the court wouldn't allow me to call witnesses.  Two witnesses can verify that I am upholding the reputation of a cram school.  The prosecutor used a false Chinese translation to accuse me of extorting money from a cram school, threatening cram school managers (to get the money), and ruining the reputation of the cram school.  Two very credible witnesses (a doctor and an executive of the Sesame Street teacher education standard in Taiwan) can prove that the allegations are false.  I asked the court to have a retrial, but on 27 Feb 2024 the court refused.  Long ago, the cram school managers laughed at me when I told them that they are committing fraud.  They said no one in the Taiwan government will care.  The general manager implied that the school was above reproach of the law when the she told me that the owner of the school is so rich that he even donated a road to the government.

The Constitution of Taiwan (Republic Of China) says that everyone in Taiwan has the right to a fair trial (It's in Article 8 of the Constitution).  This is a petition to uphold the Republic Of China (Taiwan) Constitution.  The Constitution is the only document that keeps Taiwan separate from mainland China.  Without upholding the Constitutional rights of all people in Taiwan (including the foreigners and especially the people accused of mental illness), there is nothing to stop China from applying to the International Court to restore the Constitutional Rights in Taiwan.  Taiwan's Constitution is from 1947.  In 1947, the Republic Of China controlled all of China.  That means the "citizens" mentioned in Taiwan's Constitution include all people of China.  That's why the United Nations cannot allow Taiwan to be separate from China.  The people of China have to allow Taiwan to be a separate democratic nation.  The people of China legally own Taiwan according to the effective date of Taiwan's Constitution, and Constitution Articles 1 and 4.  Taiwan has its own currency, and its own military, but there are no official ambassadors from foreign countries in Taiwan.  Legally, Taiwan is only separate from China if it upholds the democratic rights of all people.  And that means allowing foreigners to have a fair trial.  Please support Taiwan democracy.  Sign this petition to help maintain democracy in Taiwan!

我是在台灣的加拿大外國人。台南市高等法院剝奪了我刑事審判的權利。聽起來很難以置信。審判當天我生病了，但法庭還是繼續進行。我給了我的律師一封醫生的信，但這並不重要。更糟的是，法庭不允許我傳喚證人。有兩位證人可以證實我維護了補習班的聲譽。檢察官用虛假的中文翻譯指控我向補習班勒索錢財，威脅補習班管理人員（以獲取錢財），敗壞補習班的聲譽。兩名非常可信的證人（一名醫生和一名台灣芝麻街教師教育標準的高階主管）可以證明這些指控是錯誤的。我向法院提出重審，但2024年2月27日法院拒絕了。很久以前，當我告訴補習班的管理人員他們造假時，他們嘲笑我。他們表示台灣政府中沒有人會關心。總經理告訴我，學校的老闆很有錢，甚至向政府捐了一條路，她暗示學校是無可指責的。

台灣（中華民國）憲法規定，台灣每個人都有獲得公平審判的權利（憲法第8條）。這是維護中華民國（台灣）憲法的請願書。憲法是使台灣與中國大陸分離的唯一文件。在不維護台灣全體人民（包括外國人，特別是被指控患有精神疾病的人）的憲法權利的情況下，沒有什麼可以阻止中國向國際法院申請恢復台灣的憲法權利。台灣的憲法是從1947年開始的。1947年，中華民國控制了全中國。這意味著台灣憲法中所稱的「公民」包括全體中華人民。這就是為什麼聯合國不能允許台灣從中國分裂。中國人民必須允許台灣成為一個獨立的民主國家。根據台灣憲法生效之日以及憲法第一條和第四條，中國人民合法擁有台灣。台灣有自己的貨幣，有自己的軍隊，但沒有外國駐台灣的官方大使。從法律上講，台灣只有維護所有人的民主權利，才能與中國分離。這意味著讓外國人得到公平的審判。請支持台灣民主。簽署此請願書，幫助維護台灣的民主！
