The New Taipei District Prosecutors Office has indicted internet influencer Holger Chen for comments about "decapitating" President Lai Ching-te. Chen made the remarks made during a livestream in October.
The influencer was charged with intimidation of the public and public safety.
Chen shouted "Decapitate Lai Ching-te's dog head" during the YouTube livestream ... riffing on China's so-called decapitation strike exercises against Taiwan.
The prosecutors said in a press release that Chen's remarks were sufficient to instill fear in any ordinary person, regardless of the target's status as president.
