Liao Cheng-hao (Chinese: 廖正豪; pinyin: Liào Zhèngháo; 30 March 1946 – 31 January 2022) was a Taiwanese legal scholar and lawyer.
Liao attended the National Taiwan University College of Law and served as deputy director-general of the Government Information Office and Executive Yuan before leading the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau, starting in 1995.
[4] While Liao led the justice ministry, he pursued former Chiayi County Council speaker Hsiao Teng-piao [zh] on a number of charges.
Hsiao began avoiding authorities in 1996,[5] and only agreed to face the police in September 1999, more than a year after Liao had stepped down from the justice ministry.
After withdrawing from politics, Liao established the Tosun Public Interest Foundation to help youth and former prisoners,[1][17] and advocated for improvement in Cross-Strait relations, focusing on legal and religious aspects.
