 Deputy commander becomes the first officer detained following soldier’s death (2013/07/16)

A deputy commander in the Army has been detained following the death of a corporal. Ho Chiang-chung 何江忠is the first officer to be detained in the case. He stands accused of imposing punishments that exceeded legal limits.

This is Ho Chiang-chung, the deputy commander of the Army’s 542 Armor Brigade and the officer who directly oversaw Hung Chung-chiu’s unit. According to the military prosecutor-general, Ho ordered that Hung be thrown in the brig.

Tsao Chin-sheng
Military Prosecutor-General
It is our understanding that this case reaches up to the deputy commander of the 542 Armor Brigade.

Reporters asked whether Ho told a subordinate officer that if he didn’t throw Hung in the brig, he would find himself punished in the same way.

Tsao Chin-sheng
Military Prosecutor-General
Witnesses we have summoned said this happened. We have not ruled out this possibility.

A military court ruled that Ho should be detained on suspicion of three crimes: compulsion, offenses against freedom, and punishing a subordinate for an act which the commander knows is not punishable.

One question was how a corporal like Hung inspired the wrath of a deputy commander, a person far above him in the military hierarchy.

Liu Hsuan-yang
Hung’s Squad Leader
He irritated (Staff Sergeant) Fan Tzuo-hsian and (Sergeant Major) Chen Yi-ren. When he was caught this time, they wanted to put him in the brig. They told the deputy commander that he brazenly played with his phone in front of a superior and disrespected his superiors. They said he was arrogant, and the deputy commander believed them.

The problem is that bringing a cell phone with a camera onto base warrants an administrative penalty, not being thrown in the brig. Another problem is procedures were not followed in meting out the punishment.

Hsia Fu-hua (July 15)
Military Chief Inspector
After the 542 Armor Brigade held a sergeants evaluation meeting, it should have held a personnel evaluation meeting. But this second meeting never took place.

The investigation report ran eight pages long. It has begun to reveal what led to Hung Chung-chiu’s untimely death.

收押副旅長

陸 軍542旅副旅長何江忠，今天被軍事法院以「職權妨害自由」等三項罪名，裁定收押，軍檢署也首度坦承，就是何江忠對下屬連長施壓，堅持要洪仲丘關禁閉。洪 仲丘同梯同袍說，其實兩名士官長，陳以仁、范佐憲早就對洪仲丘有意見，退伍前被逮到小辮子，想辦法整他，沒想到竟然把人活活操死。

軍檢署檢察長證實陸軍，就是他，542旅部連副旅長何江忠上校，也是洪仲丘部隊的直屬長官，下令一定要把洪仲丘送進禁閉室。

[[最高軍檢署檢察長 曹金生]]
“涉案的層級，我們所了解的是542旅的副旅長”

媒體追問副旅長是否曾對連長說，如果今天不把洪關進去，下一個關禁閉就是你。曹金生沒有否認。

[[最高軍檢署檢察長 曹金生]]
“目前我們所傳喚的證人顯示，有這樣的情事，不無這樣的可能”

何江忠經過偵訊後，被依「職權強制罪、職權妨害自由」，以及「對部屬施以法定種類以外懲罰」三項罪名，遭軍事法院裁定羈押。

但洪仲丘是名下士，為何惹毛上校副旅長。

[[洪仲丘同梯義務役班長 劉烜揚]]
“他惹到(上士)范佐憲跟(士官長)陳以仁，他這次被抓到，他們想要將他送禁閉，於是這兩個人去找副旅長講，他大膽在長官面前滑(手機)，也不重視長官，很囂張，副旅長就信以為真”

只是根據規定，軍士官攜帶照相手機入營，只能予以申誡處分，洪仲丘遭禁閉，不僅名不正言不順，就連關禁閉程序，542旅也是便宜行事。

[[總督察長室主任 夏復華(07.15)]]
“542旅士官召集士官評議會之後，應該還要再召開人事評議會，但人評會沒有做”

洋洋灑灑八頁的調查報告，洪仲丘猝死案，真相呼之欲出。
