Demand a sylum for Cheng COVENTRY magistrates sat under heavy police guard yesterday as they remanded in custody six men arrested during joint Special Branch-Special Patrol Group raids Press, €1,750 APRIL APPEAL FUND NOW STANDS 17, Mrs Cecllla Cheng who has been waiting for the Lords decision, while her husband is held in Pentonville jail. TZU TSAI-CHENG, the Taiwanese separatist, has lost his appeal against extradition to the United States where he faces a possible jail sentence for an alleged assassination attempt on the son of Chiang Kai-shek, the premier of Taiwan.
The House of Lords ruled that his alleged crime was not political and therefore Cheng had no rights protecting him from extradition.
But his supporters yesterday said they were encouraged by the narrowness of the majority and the dissenting opinion of Lord Simon, who said that to the man in the street Cheng's crime was clearly political.
The fate of Cheng now SPENCI rests with Tory Home tary Robert Carr.
He can ship Cheng to the United States, where his comrades say he runs the risk of being_kidnapped by agents of the Taiwanese regime, or he could be deported to any country that would allow him political asylum.
Neil Kinnock, Labour MP for Bedwelty, is to lead an all-party delegation to plead with Carr not to send Cheng to the US.
Mr Benedict Birnberg Cheng's solicitor, said that he was pleased with the Lords decision because it was narrow. He said the verdict by Lord Simon was most important and would lend weight to the dele gation to the Home Secretary.
Cheng is at present recovering in Pentonville jail from a suicide attempt.
The alleged crime took place in New York in April 1970 when a pistol was drawn and fired at Chiang Ching-kuo, the son of the old anti-communist leader of nationalist China.
Cheng was . arrested for allegedly being concerned acquiring the weapon.
The British trade union and labour movement must demand that Cheng be given asylum in Britain. See Thursday's centre pages for a full background story to Cheng case.
