Military justice amendments in Taiwan

The Taipei Times reports here on two imminent changes to military law. Excerpts:

As the dissemination of misinformation is often conducted through the Internet, the Cabinet has also proposed an addendum to the code stipulating that people who spread military disinformation through radio and TV broadcasts, electronic communications or over the Internet would face 1.5 times the original penalties.
