A Polish journalist accused Taiwan’s representative office of interfering
with the freedom of the press by requesting a Polish media outlet to retract
a report on protesters’ occupation of the Executive Yuan.

Having published a series of reports on the occupation of the legislature,
the Polish media group Niezalezna — which owns several print and online news
outlets in Poland, including the daily Gazeta Polska Codziennie, the weekly


我們收到台北駐波辦事處，要求我們撤下有關將台灣學運和烏克蘭的比對報導的一封信



While saying that Taiwan is a “robust democracy and the people in Taiwan

requested that an “appropriate retraction can be made to present the current
picture of this news story and avoid misunderstanding among people in Poland
and Taiwan,” as “making an analogy between a fully fledged democracy and
the bloodshed that happened in Ukraine” not only presents a “completely

Hanna Shen, the reporter for the media group who wroted the story, as well as
several other stories on the student occupation of the legislature, said she
was shocked when she received the letter.

“My newspaper has been publishing articles very critical of the governments



我的報紙曾經刊登過不少針對俄國、中國、前烏克蘭政府非常具有批判性的報導

但我們從沒有收過其中任何一個國家要求我們撤下報導的要求

“I wonder if the Taiwanese government has also asked them to retract the
analogy,” Shen added.

When asked for a response, Zhang Ming-zhong (張銘忠), director-general of
European affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that the ministry’
s overseas mission would issue a rebuttal in the event of biased reports.

As for the particular case concerning the Polish journalist’s complaint,
Zhang said he is in the midst of contacting the representative office to
better understand the matter.
