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

HAPPENING NOW [VERY IMPORTANT]: Venezuela’s soldiers are killing their people. The Government is sending their armed gangs to kill them and they have censored all the media in their country, even blocking photos posted on social media sites. They shut down all the cable channels that broadcast news, so they can’t know what’s going on. The people have no source of protection at all. Students are protesting to save their country and their lives at this very moment. All they have are their social networks to get the word out so, PLEASE RE-BLOG THIS AND SPREAD THE WORD. VENEZUELA IS ON THE BRINK OF A CIVIL WAR  AND CLOSE TO BECOMING A FULL COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP. THEIR PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP. —— Please, this is very important to me, one of my closest friends went to visit family in Venezuela over winter break and they won’t let him come back to Florida. We’re graduating in a few months and it hurts me to know that his baseball career and all of his hard work and dedication to his grades here in the U.S. was all for nothing. Please.

one of my friends is in the middle of this shit right now and it’s terrifying, she said their twitters are getting blocked so they can’t share info, their murder rate is the second highest in the world and none of the murderers go to jail because they’re government supporters, they can’t find basic household items or food in their supermarkets, their economy has plummeted, inflation increased over 50% in the two months since 2014 started, airlines have basically left the country because the govt owes them so much money, they have no access to cars or car parts, they can’t cross any borders because their govt controls them and no one is helping them.

it is fucking pissing me off that no one is helping them when they’re asking for it and need it so much. And I am so frustrated that theres not more I can do than share things like this to spread the word, that I just have to hope enough people see it that something gets done.

PLEASE READ!!
For years, my country has been violated in truly unfair ways. But now, with our old president (who started it all) dead, and a new, worse one in rule, students in Venezuela are rising and creating a revolution for peace against the corrupt government.
The government has shut down any social networks, so there’s no contact whatsoever. This video explains it even better.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. SPREAD THE WORD. SHARE THIS POST. FOR PEACE. FOR FREEDOM. FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.

ENOUGH BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED.
ENOUGH TEARS HAVE BEEN SHED.

Let my country be heard. It’s time this ends.
