Petition: “Don't think that the next little shrimp won't be you?!”

In support of Commercial Times reporter Joyce (Wen-chi) Kuang, we demand that the richest man in Taiwan, Terry Gou, chairman of Hon Hai Precision Industry, end his legal maneuver that has caused the Taipei District Court to place Joyce (Wen-chi) Kuang’s assets under provisional seizure.
Organizer: Association of Taiwan Journalists (ATJ)
Ranked by Forbes magazine as Taiwan’s richest man with assets of US$2.8 billion, Terry Gou is supported by a team of over 400 legal experts at his company. When such a powerful and wealthy man as Gou wields his sword at a media worker like you, what could you do?
Unite and speak up: this is the only way to break away from the control of a big mean business.
As the richest man in Taiwan, Gou has shown his displeasure with a Commercial Times report by singling out the author, Kuang, without challenging the Chinese-language newspaper. This scare tactic is intended to threaten individual reporters into exercising self-censorship.
We can only use our pens, our conscience, and moral courage to sternly lodge a collective protest against the richest man in Taiwan. We must say it out loud: “press freedom cannot be suppressed with money.”
The Association of Taiwan Journalists invites you to join our “little shrimp against the big whale” campaign and demand that Gou withdraws his legal action against Kuang, allowing Taiwan’s press to operate in freedom.
