Prosecutor may have violated Constitution: experts

She made the remarks after being advised in person by Judicial Yuan President Weng Yue-sheng (翁岳生).

Fan Kuang-chun (范光群), secretary-general of the Judicial Yuan, said that the judicial branch had sent memos to all courts reminding them to remain neutral in all cases and to carry out fair and independent trials.

Judges enjoy freedom of expression, but at the same time they should strictly follow guidelines and rules governing their professional behavior, Fan added.

On whether Huang would be disciplined for commenting on the "state affairs fund" case, Fan said only that Weng had spoken to her.
