媒體與訪談資料 — 柯受恩 Ross Cline

My name is Ross Cline. In 2019, during a dispute with my landlord in Taiwan, I posted my own signed lease online for two days. I do not dispute that. Taiwan enforces its privacy law criminally, and I was sentenced to six months in prison. I cannot read Chinese. Taiwan's own law required a court interpreter for me. Across four years, no interpreter was ever appointed and no document was translated. Taiwan's Supreme Prosecutors Office confirmed both facts in writing in December 2025, and in the same letter refused to reopen the case. My summons literally says: if you do not read Chinese, bring your own translator. My only interpreter was a chatbot. I now live in Phnom Penh, because going home means prison. I am not asking you to say a court was wrong. I am asking for thirty minutes on your show to walk through the documents. Everything is at rosscline.com/pages/press.

更正（2026年9月20日）。本影片係在本人核對法院卷宗之前錄製，其中兩點不夠精確，以下書面內容為核對後之現行版本：法院認定之時間為2021年而非2019年；通譯亦非完全欠缺。部分庭期完全無通譯，其他庭期之具結通譯依本人所述僅傳譯所言之一小部分，訴訟文書則從未翻譯。最高檢察署對此未予爭執，影片中「確認」一詞言過其實。
