In addition, the provision will automatically expire two years after the constitutional interpretation, which is about to expire. Therefore, it is likely that 17 prisoners whose parole for life imprisonment has been revoked will be released on the 14th. The Ministry of Justice has also responded to this matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that when the old law automatically expired on March 14, although the Ministry of Justice indicated that it would handle the matter according to the principle of proportionality and might not release these prisoners, since there was no legal basis for detention, and without new amendments, prosecutors would have no legal basis to legally detain these prisoners when the deadline expired. Therefore, there was probably no reason to detain these prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Further reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/blog\/corruption-lawyer-2\/\">The Anti-Corruption Ordinance imposes a maximum sentence of life imprisonment!
