This is just another evidence to show how the Ma Ying-jeou Administration in Taiwan is fast receding to the Fascist heritage of the Chinese Nationalist Party, or otherwise known as the Kuomintang 国民党.
At 4.00am yesterday morning, a few hours after Ma made his emotional International Human Rights Day speech hailing Taiwan as a country where its citizens owned the freedom of assembly, hundreds of Taipei police moved into the Liberty Square to evict members of the Wild Strawberries Student Movement and another group of Tibet supporters. Taiwan News reports on 11 December 2008:
The Wild Strawberries Movement began on Nov. 6 during the period of Taiwan visit made by Chen Yunlin 陈云林, chairman of China’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, asking the Parade and Assembly law be amended. On Dec. 7, a rally was held in peace and ended the one-month movement. Several students still stayed for the sit-in. Since the next day, Tibetan movement supporters have staged a sit-in on the right side of the Liberty Square in protest of China’s violent acts.
