  • 高雄捷運泰勞抗暴事件，或稱高雄捷運外勞弊案，簡稱高捷案或高雄捷運外勞案，是指2005年8月21日高雄捷運公司位於高雄縣岡山鎮移工宿舍的泰國籍外籍勞工暴動事件後，所揭露的外勞管理問題和衍生出的疑似有台灣民意代表及中華民國政府官員涉嫌向外勞仲介公司收取佣金、官商勾結等弊案。主要被告，包括前總統府副祕書長陳哲男等人。此案是台灣人權紀錄的一大污點，同時也嚴重衝擊民主進步黨「清廉執政」與「人權立國」的形象，被認為是民進黨在2005年中華民國地方公職人員選舉中失敗的重要因素。涉嫌自外勞仲介中獲取不當利益的人士包括前總統府副祕書長陳哲男、局長方來進、高雄捷運公司負責引進泰勞事務的副董事長、前高雄捷運公司總經理賴獻玉、高雄捷運公司總經理特助劉克強、負責管理泰籍勞工的華磐仲介公司總經理嚴世華與其妻王彩碧、擔任高雄捷運公司顧問的前高雄市政府捷運工程局局長等。 台灣高等法院高雄分院於2009年1月15日二審宣判，陳哲男、嚴世華及王彩碧無罪，其中嚴世華及王彩碧被控背信罪部分無罪定讞。同年2月24日，不提上訴，陳哲男確認無罪，全案定讞，全案無人受到刑事責任。 (zh)
