The Taoyuan District Prosecutors’ Office on Saturday said it had opened an investigation into the arrest on Thursday of a woman who refused to answer a police officer’s questions after seemingly being stopped without cause.
The office said in a news release that, at the request of police, it on Thursday interrogated music teacher Chan Hui-ling (詹慧玲) on suspicion of obstructing a public official during an encounter in Taoyuan’s Jhongli District (中壢).
The office said the case is being reviewed and asked the public to be patient until the investigation is concluded.
The incident has drawn considerable attention in Taiwan,
