Chen was detained in a cell without windows

Taipei Times - archives: "Former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) office yesterday dismissed a report that Chen had asked for a new prison cell and demanded that the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and Taipei Detention Center explain the matter.

Chen was detained in a cell without windows from last November until May, when the center moved him to a cell with windows, the office said in a statement.

“The former president has never asked the detention center for a new cell ... We protest that the ministry is using untrue information to mislead certain media outlets and tarnish Chen’s name,” the statement said."
