Chiang Kai-shek descendant gets 6 months’ jail for threats
Print Edition
A COURT in Taipei yesterday sentenced a great-grandson of former Taiwan leader Chiang Kai-shek to 6 months in prison for making threats against staff at his former school.
Andrew Chiang You-ching, 24, was convicted at the Shilin district court of intimidation for posting threats against the Taipei American School on Facebook as well as e-mailing them to its staff last year.
He can appeal the ruling or pay a fine of NT$180,000 (US$5,650) in exchange for not serving the sentence, the court said.
Chiang was indicted in November last year after the school alerted police to his actions in a case that was much-publicized in Taiwan.
Local media said he used the words “slaughter” and “bomb” in his Facebook messages, and was reported to have shouted and made offensive gestures outside the school.
