Taiwan illegal radio stations down to 8: Premier Wu

Only eight underground radio stations are still left in Taiwan after a government crackdown on the sale of illegal medicine, Premier Wu Den-yih said today. The crackdown provoked accusations that the government was looking for a pretext to remove critical voices from the airwaves, since many of the broadcasters were sympathetic to the opposition Democratic Progressive Party.

    In about 5 or 6 months from now these stations will be back on air. In fact a station in Taipei Country that was taken off air a few weeks ago came back on Tuesday on a different frequency.
    If it was not for the doggy medicine they were selling on air, nothing would have happened. As I mentioned on a post connected with this one a while ago some people became ill.
