With the lifting of martial rule, civilians will no longer be tried by military tribunals. The military will also turn over to civilian authorities the power to censor publications. Despite these gains, however, many aspects of martial law, including restrictions on assembly and travel, will remain because of the passage of a new National Security Law by the Legislative Yuan late last month.
