Taiwanese President and the Government: Ensure there won’t be any violence against the protesters
The police turned violent after students occupied the Executive Yuan. Before they started beating these unarmed students, they asked the media to leave.
The protesters have been occupied the Congress for almost a week, asking Taiwanese government to send back a pact with China.With no positive answer from the President, some protesters stormed into the executive building in the evening of March 23, 2014. Jiang Yi-huah, President of the Executive Yuan, made an announcement requesting police power to evict these protesters (most of them are college kids). Based on the says from the witnesses, the police first ask the media to leave, and then attacked these students and protesters.
Apart from the riot, the neutrality of Taiwanese media has been questioned. Most of the news only reveal parts of the scenes, and removed the violence from the video.
The protesters are retiring to the Congress now.
Please sign this petition to help us to prevent police violence.
Thank you for your consideration.
天佑台灣
