TAIWANESE investigators have left the Philippines, expressing dissatisfaction with Manila's cooperation in probing the shooting death of a Taiwanese fisherman by the Philippine coast guard.
Investigating team leader Chen Wen-chi read a statement yesterday that said evidence showed the May 9 shooting was intentional.
It also said Philippine law enforcers ignored international protocol, including warning the Taiwanese vessel.
The investigators said they decided to leave because of a lack of sincerity and cooperation by the Philippines.
The 14-man team that arrived Thursday reiterated a call for a joint investigation. Philippine Justice Secretary Leila de Lima has rejected that. De Lima said she urged Taiwan to wait for the Philippines to finish its "fair, thorough and expeditious probe."
Taiwan has recalled its envoy, banned the hiring of new Philippine workers and staged a military drill.
