The World - News from Sept. 28, 1989

Taiwan’s best-known dissident was arrested as he tried to re-enter Taiwan after nearly a decade of exile in the United States, police in Taipei said. They said Hsu Hsin-liang was caught during a customs inspection of a fishing boat off the southern city of Kaohsiung. Hsu, who faces sedition charges for opposing the ruling Nationalist Party, has tried several times to re-enter Taiwan, most recently in 1988 when he called himself the “Ninoy Aquino of Taiwan”--a reference to the Philippine leader who was shot to death as he returned to Manila from exile in 1983.
