Taipei, Dec. 18 (CNA) A recent decision by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) to report clinical psychiatrist Su Wei-shuo (蘇偉碩) to the police over what the ministry said are false rumors about ractopamine has drawn pushback from the doctor and the main opposition party, which criticized the move as violating Su s freedom of speech.
