Influencer Holger Chen under investigation for alleged Lai comments
The Criminal Investigation Bureau says it's investigating internet
personality Holger Chen after he called for the decapitation of President Lai

bodily harm under the Criminal Code.

Survey team reaches Matai'an Creek barrier lake site: Forestry agency
One of two teams deployed by the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency to
survey potential routes to the Ma-Tai-An Creek barrier lake are reporting
widespread devastation.
The agency's Hualien branch deployed a task force consisting of two teams to
visit the site on September 30.
The teams were tasked with surveying the remnants of the lake and looking for
prospective (預期的,盼望中的,未來的) routes for construction equipment to
enter the area to rebuild.
Officials say data collected by the teams will be used to help ensure safety
during future efforts to rebuild the area and set up disaster prevention and
detection infrastructure.

Charlotte North reports from Washington
Iraq Prisoners Released Under Amnesty
Iraq has released over 35,000 people from prisons under an amnesty law passed
earlier this year.
The law, aimed at reducing prison overcrowding, makes nearly 144,000 more
people eligible for relief.
The country's Supreme Judicial Council said courts recovered over $34 million
in restitution (賠償) from those convicted of theft and corruption.
The amnesty covers crimes like corruption, theft and some terrorism-related
offenses, though not those involving killings.
Sunni lawmakers pushed for the law, arguing their community faced unfair
terrorism charges.
The law also allows retrials for some terrorism convictions and halts
executions.
SAmerican Trade Bloc Rules Peru Failing to Curb Illegal Mining
A South American trade bloc has ruled that Peru is failing to curb illegal
gold mining and mercury (汞) trafficking.
The Andean Community, which includes Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia,
made the decision on Monday.
They have ordered Peru to reform its laws and seize illegal mining equipment.
Indigenous groups say mercury from mining is poisoning rivers and food in the
Amazon.
Peru has 20 working days to comply or face potential (潛在的) trade
sanctions.
The case could set a precedent for other countries.
Peru has made some efforts to crack down on illegal mercury, but enforcement
remains inconsistent.
