At the Taipei Hong-En Hospital's Long'an Branch, head of the nursing auxiliary team Lin Zhiwen was accused of assaulting a 22-year-old inmate surnamed Yang under custodial supervision in the hospital. Lin allegedly used straps to bind Yang, punched his abdomen causing bruises, and slammed his head on the ground, justifying the abuse as 'physical therapy'. Nursing staff in the hospital secretly collected evidence, leading to Lin's indictment by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office. The case highlights the challenges faced by hospitals treating mentally ill patients and inmates, urging authorities to investigate such incidents and prevent further abuses.
