veterans yesterday reported to the Taipei Police Department’s Zhongzheng First Precinct for questioning, as police investigated whether they had incited protesters to resort to violence or engage in other illegal activities during a rally against planned pension reforms for military personnel last month.
At a demonstration outside the Legislative Yuan in Taipei on April 25, 32 police officers and 11 journalists were injured as protesters tried to break into the legislature.
Many journalists said they were attacked or had their cameras vandalized by protesters who demanded that they stop filming or photographing.
Before reporting to the police, Wu told reporters that as “law-obeying veterans,” they would follow all legal procedures and that they hoped the evidence would attest to their innocence. [FULL STORY]
